Memorandum for the Petitioners | 65 D.8. Respondent Carbon Majors’ purported commitments to human rights and climate change are inconsistent with their business models 5.125.Since petitioners’ submission of their Petition, Amended Petition, and Consolidated Reply, along with other documentary exhibits, with the Honorable Commission, several respondents have included in their published human rights and climate change commitments more details on strategies purporting to support the Paris Agreement goal of keeping global temperature increase to well-below 2°C. However, the information in the majority of the respondents’ publications do not still outline plans and actions that the petitioners -- in line with the views of climate science and human rights experts -- envision as adequate to address the social, economic, and human rights implications of climate change. A copy of a summary of respondents’ corporate statements on climate change and human rights and their commitments, scores, and grades are attached hereto and made integral parts hereof as Annexes “D” and “E,” respectively. 5.126.The summary of corporate statements on climate change and human rights includes powerful data.
