The winning paper was the Impacts of climate litigation on firm value<\/a> <\/em>by Misato Sato, Glen Gostlow, Catherine Higham, Joana Setzer and Frank Venmans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The paper considers the impacts of climate litigation against corporations. The authors constructed a comprehensive database of filings and decisions relating to 108 climate change lawsuits against US and European-listed corporations between 2005 and 2021. They show that climate litigation filings or unfavourable court decisions reduced firm value by -0.41% on average. They identify conditions that would lead to a bigger effect, such as cases against the largest emitters, or ‘Carbon Majors’, and cases involving novel legal arguments. The results offer the first robust evidence on climate litigation risk as a financial risk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
