Center For Climate Integrity

Legal - cci supports climate accountability litigation by providing plaintiffs with key "smoking gun" documents, the latest scientific findings, access to leading legal and scientific experts, localized, in-depth analysis of climate adaptation costs, and by filing carefully tailored amicus briefs. Cci also encourages new climate litigation by building policymaker support for climate accountability and by advising state and municipal officials on their cost recovery options.

Research - cci designs, supports, publishes, distributes, and promotes original research intended to objectively quantify the costs of adapting public infrastructure to the impacts of climate change and to demonstrate the direct link between that damage and the actions of individual fossil fuel companies and associations. Cci also helps communities understand the specific types and costs of climate adaptation measures that are potentially recoverable through litigation, and the link between fossil fuel emissions and local and state level climate impacts.

Communications - cci uses a wide range of communications tools and strategies to educate the general public and key audiences about climate accountability issues. This work includes paid and earned media, traditional press outreach and coverage, social and digital media, and more. Cci's communications team also provides resources to community partners and elected officials in order to support their work as messengers for climate accountability with various audiences.
