frisson through corporate boardrooms with reason. Alejandro García Esteban In a historic victory for climate justice, in late May a Dutch civil court held a corporation liable for the first time for its contribution to climate change.

Not only has it opened new legal avenues for climate action. The judges clearly spelt out that companies have an individual responsibility to combat climate change, because of its severe impacts on human rights.
