CONTENTS
Liability risk is the exposure to legal claims, compensation, and litigation arising from climate change — for example, for failing to manage, disclose, or act on climate risks.
Example in context
You're a director signing off a disclosure. If the climate reporting is thin or misleading, the company — and the board — can face claims, which makes a defensible assessment a governance issue, not a tick-box.
Why it matters
Liability completes the climate-risk picture alongside physical and transition risk, and sound, evidenced assessment is the best protection. EarthScan provides transparent, science-based evidence that stands up to scrutiny.
