“The following three programs were started this year: legal - cci supports climate accountability litigation by providing plaintiffs with key "smoking gun" documents, the latest scientific findings, access to leading legal and scientific experts, localized, in-depth analysis of climate adaptation costs, and by filing carefully tailored amicus briefs. Cci also encourages new climate litigation by building policymaker support for climate accountability and by advising state and municipal officials on their cost recovery options. Campaigns - cci conducts, and supports local partners in conducting, media and grasstops organizing campaigns designed to place climate accountability - the idea that climate polluters should be held financially responsible for the climate damage they've deliberately caused at the center of the climate debate. This includes sharing a wide range of capacities and resources with elected officials who join cci's leaders for climate accountability network, supporting congressional investigations designed to expose the oil and gas industry's historic and ongoing climate deception, and supporting state legislators working to hold the oil and gas industry accountable for their role in causing the climate crisis. Scientific research - cci designs, supports, publishes, distributes, and promotes original research intended to objectively quantify the costs of adapting public infrastructure to the impacts of climate change and to demonstrate the direct link between that damage and the actions of individual fossil fuel companies and associations. Cci also helps communities understand the specific types and costs of climate adaptation measures that are potentially recoverable through litigation, and the link between fossil fuel emissions and local and state level climate impacts.”
