others, under the Philippine Rules of Procedure for Environmental Cases. The adjunct rights to a balanced and healthful ecology and to health guaranteed by our Constitution are included in the complete concept of human rights based on the exchange between Commissioners Bennagen and Nolledo during the deliberations of the 1986 Constitutional Convention and their importance is explained in Oposa v. Factoran.   2. The investor-owned Carbon Majors have breached their responsibilities to respect the rights of Filipino people and communities by directly or indirectly contributing to current or future adverse human rights impacts through the extraction and sale of fossil fuels and activities undermining climate action. With respect to the manner in which companies should respect these rights, Foundational Principle 13 of the Guiding Principles provides that business enterprises are required to: (a) Avoid causing or contributing to adverse human rights impacts through their own activities, and address such impacts when they occur; [and] (b) Seek to prevent or mitigate adverse human rights impacts that are directly linked to their operations, products or services by their business relationships, even if they have not contributed to those impacts.62 As such, there are three scenarios in which a company can be responsible for adverse impacts on human rights: (1) it may cause impacts through its own activities; (2) it may contribute to impacts through its own activities, either directly or or through some outside entity (government, business, or other); and (3) it may be involved in impacts caused by an entity that is directly linked to its business operations, products, or services.63 In accordance with the Guiding Principles, the Carbon Majors’ activities have contributed to, or the Carbon Majors have been involved in, climate change related infringements of human rights as discussed in the Statement of Facts. For one, the accumulated emissions from the carbon these companies have produced have contributed to a consistently elevated level of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Higher levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide increases radiative forcing64 thereby increasing global atmospheric temperatures resulting in a multitude of climate                                                                                                                         62 Guiding Principles, supra note 24, principle 13 at 14.
