AbstractRegistrants will receive a copy of the paper prior to the event. Since the advent of corporate personhood, there has been a debate about whether the corporation's underlying purpose is to maximize shareholder wealth or, otherwise, to make decisions for the betterment of, among others, its employees, customers, and the environment. This paper analyses the role that courts—particularly in common law jurisdictions—can play to fashion a more expansive corporate purpose that extends beyond the traditional notion of shareholder wealth maximization. The first in a series of papers that will consider various topics around 'litigating corporate purpose', this paper zeroes in on climate change and how courts are not just a possible avenue to affirm a more socially-conscious corporate purpose, but a necessary one given the continued absence of meaningful legislation or multilateral treaty-based efforts to curtail corporate climate impacts. Focusing on Canada, the U.S., the U.K. and recent Dutch litigation against Shell, this paper advocates for 'judicial climate governance', which is the ability for courts to lay the grooves for future corporate behaviour in a way that will mitigate and even reverse climate impacts. Judicial decisions cannot per se alter corporate purpose from a shareholder maximization model to a broader stakeholder model. But, judicial decisions can require corporations to compensate stakeholders for harm incurred from climate-related impacts. Such decisions can, in turn, cajole corporations to promulgate more climate-friendly policies with the knowledge that inordinate greenhouse gas emissions may result in extensive—and even debilitating—compensatory awards from the courts.    About the SpeakerHassan M.
