Memorandum for the Petitioners |145 A. The Honorable Commission should issue a finding on the responsibility of the respondent Carbon Majors for human rights impacts, impairments, infringements, abuses, and/or violations resulting from the effects of climate change in the Philippines 9.4. The petitioners implore the Honorable Commission to issue a set of findings in its final Resolution that will support Filipino communities seeking and achieving climate justice. Based on the evidence and testimonies gathered during the course of the National Inquiry, the Honorable Commission, with due respect, should consider issuing this ultimate finding: impacts, The respondent Carbon Majors are responsible for impairments, infringements, abuses, and/or violations of the human rights of the Filipinos, resulting from the effects of climate change. Through the extraction, marketing, and sale of coal, oil, and gas, and through past and current actions and/or inactions that have or continue to undermine climate science and solutions, the respondent Carbon Majors have and continue to directly and indirectly contribute to past, current, and future climate-related human rights abuses suffered by the Filipino people. The respondent Carbon Majors have failed to fulfill their legal responsibility to respect and protect human rights by failing to avoid or actively contributing to adverse climate-related human rights impacts through their own activities and failing to address such harms when they occur by providing remedy. The respondent Carbon Majors have also failed to fulfill their legal responsibility in preventing, mitigating, and/or remedying the adverse climate-related human rights impacts that are directly linked to their operations, products or services through their business relationships. The respondent Carbon Majors have a responsibility to urgently a) mitigate all climate pollution from their products and operations; b) remediate and compensate for losses and damages in the Philippines; and c) fund climate preparedness efforts in the Philippines. Continued failure of the respondent Carbon Majors to take these steps is unlawful and harms the fundamental human rights of the Filipino people.
