Corporate courts are a secretive shadow legal system that give large companies the power to sue governments for millions for taking action to protect people and the environment. Even the threat of a corporate court case can pressure countries into backing down on regulations such as phasing out coal.
As the UK continues to negotiate new trade deals there is a huge risk that large corporations could use corporate courts to block much needed climate action. If enough of us speak out we could stop this unjust mechanism in its tracks.
