Resumo: The aim of this paper is to understand how climate litigation can act as a mechanism for effective protection of human rights in the face of violations caused by transnational corporations (ETNs). Initially, reflections are made about the link between climate change, human rights, and companies. Then, climate litigation is discussed as a mechanism for the realization of human rights, with a discussion of its impacts and expansion. Finally, the case Milieudefensie et al. v. Royal Dutch Shell is studied, at which time the mechanism's action is debated in the face of violations arising from business activities. Adopting inductive reasoning, qualitative research encompasses theory and praxis and brings together the techniques of document analysis, literature review and case study. Thus, climate litigation is an important instrument with extraterritorial effects for the protection of human rights in the face of the actions of companies, especially due to the accountability of TNCs: a global challenge that has been increasingly discussed. However, it is concluded that the mechanism is not sufficient to solve the problem of accountability, nor of violation of human rights, making international cooperation necessary to adopt a binding rule that regulates the issue.

Inicialmente, realizam-se reflexões acerca do vínculo existente entre mudanças climáticas, direitos humanos e empresas. Em seguida, aborda-se a litigância climática como um instrumento de efetivação dos direitos humanos, com discussão sobre seus impactos e expansão. Por fim, estuda-se o caso Milieudefensie et al. v. Royal Dutch Shell, momento em que é debatia a atuação do mecanismo em face das violações decorrentes das atividades empresariais. Adotando raciocínio indutivo, a pesquisa qualitativa engloba teoria e práxis e reúne as técnicas de análise documental, revisão bibliográfica e estudo de caso. Assim, tem-se que o litígio climático é um importante instrumento com efeitos extraterritoriais para a proteção dos direitos humanos diante da atuação de empresas, especialmente em razão do papel que desempenha na responsabilização de transnacionais: um desafio global que tem sido, cada vez mais, discutido. Entretanto, conclui-se que o mecanismo não é suficiente para solucionar o mencionado problema de responsabilização, tampouco de violação a direitos humanos, fazendo-se necessária cooperação internacional no sentido de adotar, entre outras medidas, norma vinculante que regulamente a questão.Editora Dom Helder2022-09-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttp://revista.domhelder.edu.br/index.php/veredas/article/view/234410.18623/rvd.v19i44.2344Veredas do Direito; Vol. 19 No. 44 (2022): Veredas do Direito – Direito Ambiental e Desenvolvimento Sustentável, v. 19, n. 44, maio/ago. 2022Veredas do Direito; Vol. 19 Núm. 44 (2022): Veredas do Direito – Direito Ambiental e Desenvolvimento Sustentável, v. 19, n. 44, maio/ago. 2022Veredas do Direito – Direito Ambiental e Desenvolvimento Sustentável; v. 19 n. 44 (2022): Veredas do Direito – Direito Ambiental e Desenvolvimento Sustentável, v. 19, n. 44, maio/ago. 20222179-8699reponame:Veredas do Direito (Online)instname:Escola Superior Dom Helder Câmara (ESDHC)instacron:ESDECporengspahttp://revista.domhelder.edu.br/index.php/veredas/article/view/2344/25421http://revista.domhelder.edu.br/index.php/veredas/article/view/2344/25435http://revista.domhelder.edu.br/index.php/veredas/article/view/2344/25450Copyright (c) 2022 Veredas do Direito: Direito Ambiental e Desenvolvimento Sustentávelinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMatias, João Luis NogueiraVieira, Stephanie Cristina de Sousa2022-09-23T17:09:50Zoai:revista.domhelder.edu.br:article/2344Revistahttp://revista.domhelder.edu.br/index.php/veredasPRIhttp://revista.domhelder.edu.br/index.php/veredas/oaiveredas@domhelder.edu.br2179-86991806-3845opendoar:2022-09-23T17:09:50Veredas do Direito (Online) - Escola Superior Dom Helder Câmara (ESDHC)false
