Abstract

Scope 3 emissions of non-state actors are increasingly relevant. These emissions are becoming more significant in the legal debate regarding climate change mitigation and liability. There are various reasons for this trend, such as increasing attention for these emissions in litigation, IPCC reports and (legal) literature. This contribution focusses on the legal questions that arise in cases concerning scope 3 emissions. However, the focus in this contribution is primarily on the Milieudefensie/Shell case in which a significant best-efforts obligation has been imposed to reduce scope 3 emissions. A reduction order that seems to be unique worldwide. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

This article is about climate liability and the stimulation of negative emissions through nature restoration. Such a measure can contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, but can also lead to a restoration of biodiversity and of ecosystem services. In order to finance measures aimed at achieving natural negative emissions, the European Commission is considering introducing a system of carbon credits as part of the ‘Fit for 55’ program. This contribution investigates the advantages and disadvantages thereof and wonders about the nature and extent of the liability risks if, for example, nature is destroyed that is financed with carbon credits and which results in the release of stored co2. In that respect, attention is given to the Environmental Liability Directive. If the stimulation of natural negative emissions is also aimed at restoring biodiversity, in the event of a loss of nature, merely recouping the market price of a ‘carbon credit’ is insufficient to compensate the public for the damage done.

Abstract

Op 26 mei 2021 heeft de rechtbank Den Haag een interessant en belangwekkend vonnis gewezen in een klimaatzaak. Anders dan in de Urgenda-zaak (ECLI:NL:RBDHA:2015:7196, ECLI:NL:GHDHA:2018:2610, ECLI:NL:HR:2019:2007.) draait het in de uitspraak niet om het handelen of nalaten van de overheid, maar om dat van een multinational; Royal Dutch Shell (RDS).
