Imperial Beach, California

vs. Chevron et al.

Share

Imperial Beach is suing 32 fossil fuel companies — including ExxonMobil, BP, Chevron, and Shell — to hold them accountable for climate deception and make them pay for damages they knowingly caused, including increased flooding, sea level rise, and coastal erosion. 

“The lawsuit is a pragmatic approach to making the people that caused sea level rise pay for the impacts it has on our city.”
