Since the Industrial Revolution began 200 years ago, gases like carbon dioxide and methane have been slowly building up and warming the planet. In 2015, a group of brave Filipinos took the lead and filed a landmark petition with the Commission on Human Rights of the Philippines to claim their right to a stable climate47 big companies, including Shell, Exxon, BP and others are being investigated. They have been invited to face communities but none of them have showed up so far.

It will not only benefit the Filipino people, but all of us!
