In a groundbreaking development that could significantly alter the trajectory of climate change litigation, polluting companies may be held financially responsible for their detrimental impacts on the environment. Trillions of dollars in damage, attributed to climate change, could potentially be levied against major polluters, dramatically reshaping the future of corporate responsibility. One prime example is a scenario where oil and gas titan Chevron could be facing liability charges up to a staggering $8.5 trillion USD ($12.7 trillion AUD), thereby setting an unprecedented benchmark in the battle against environmental degradation.
