Climate litigation has moved from compliance issue to strategic business risk

Baker McKenzie and the World Economic Forum frame climate litigation as a systemic business risk touching governance, capital allocation, market access and transition planning. The report highlights value-chain liability, scrutiny of whether transition plans match investment decisions, rights-based claims and the treatment of climate commitments as legally significant representations. This is a strong boardroom-facing story: climate litigation is now an operating-model and disclosure-control issue, not just an environmental-law issue.
