36 Q33: Have your reports/publications been used as reference in any effort to pursue policy reform concerning climate change either nationally or internationally? A33: CIEL’s research, analysis and documents unearthed by our work have been referenced in litigation before the domestic courts in several countries, subnational courts in several US states, and in submissions to national and international human rights bodies, including the commission. Q38: In light of your years of research and expertise on the subject matter, are investor-owned carbon producers aligning production and investment with science-based targets that will ensure the global temperature rise is limited to safe levels? Please explain. A38: They are not. Shell’s recent Sky Scenario is emblematic of this fact. Q39: Based on your extensive research, do you have any insights on what steps respondent Carbon Majors should take to remedy, eliminate, and prevent human rights harms resulting from the fossil fuel products they extract and sell? A.39. I would welcome the opportunity to provide a response to this question at a later date. Q40: Is there anything else you would like to say about your research that may be relevant to this national inquiry? A40: One of the most important conclusions from our research is that the vast majority of the relevant history on these issues has yet to come to light. Understanding that history more fully, including the conduct of corporate actors, is a vital element of providing access to remedy, promoting informed democracy, and establishing corporate accountability where appropriate. A critical lesson from our research, including in repositories such as the Tobacco Truth Documents and other online litigation archives, is that official fact finding, whether through litigation, investigation or non-judicial inquiries, will be indispensable to protecting and promoting human rights in the context of climate change. The present inquiry is a vital step forward toward that goal. Q41: Are you ready and willing to swear this Profile and Statement under oath before the Philippine Commission on Human Rights, if required to do so? A41: I am. ________________________ CARROLL MUFFETT Signature and Date of Signing August 20, 2018
