As MDI experiences increasingly severe weather events and warming, rising seas, taxpayers will be increasingly confronted with the bill for recovery and adaptation. And yet, another avenue exists to cover those costs.

Since 2017, 27 communities have turned to the courts to hold ExxonMobil, BP, Chevron, Shell and other major fossil fuel companies accountable, making those companies pay for local climate damages. Evidence has demonstrated that fossil fuel companies have known about the long-term negative impacts of their products and activities for more than 50 years and that these companies lied to the public to protect their bottom line. Through holding these companies accountable, communities across the country are shifting the cost of resilience and repair back onto the fossil fuel companies. The Center for Climate Integrity is supporting this work and will join MDI community members to share their experience and the possibilities this work could hold for the local MDI community.

On November 18, 2021, A Climate to Thrive hosted the Center for Climate Integrity. Through this recording of the event, learn more about CCI’s work supporting communities across the country as they hold corporate polluters accountable for the impacts of climate change and explore how this type of action might help MDI communities alleviate the cost of resilience and repair.
