From the Amazon to Belém: the fight for climate justice must end corporate impunity
Pablo Fajardo argues that the climate crisis is driven by corporate power and that climate justice is unattainable without ending corporate impunity. Using Chevron's actions in the Ecuadorian Amazon as a case study, he highlights how the company avoided a US$ 9.5 billion court judgment through retaliatory lawsuits and the use of Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) systems. He calls for a systemic change to dismantle these pro-corporate legal frameworks and ensure polluters are held accountable, particularly as the global climate movement approaches COP30.
