The document argues that a small number of fossil fuel and cement producers, termed 'Carbon Majors', are responsible for a significant portion of global greenhouse gas emissions and the subsequent climate crisis. It details how these entities' activities and disinformation campaigns have led to severe human rights violations, particularly in the Philippines, where climate-induced disasters like Typhoon Haiyan have caused immense loss of life and livelihood. The text leverages international human rights law, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and the 'Carbon Majors' study to establish a framework for corporate accountability and legal liability for climate damages.

• A limited number of fossil fuel and cement producers, referred to as 'Carbon Majors', are responsible for the majority of anthropogenic CO2 and methane emissions since 1854.
• The fossil fuel industry engaged in decades of corporate disinformation to undermine climate science and policy, despite internal knowledge of the greenhouse effect and global warming as early as the 1950s and 60s.
• Climate change causes severe human rights violations in the Philippines, including threats to the right to life, health, food, water, and adequate housing, exacerbated by extreme weather events like Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan).
• Vulnerable groups in the Philippines, including women, children, indigenous peoples, and the elderly, suffer disproportionately from climate-related impacts.
