Climate litigation is rapidly becoming one of the most significant legal risks facing organizations across all industries. As regulatory frameworks evolve and stakeholders demand greater accountability for environmental impacts, businesses need robust systems to assess, monitor, and mitigate their exposure to climate-related legal action.

This **Climate Litigation Risk Assessment Form** provides a structured framework for evaluating your organization's climate litigation exposure across multiple dimensions. The form guides you through documenting pending cases, analyzing insurance coverage adequacy, identifying operational vulnerabilities, and developing comprehensive risk mitigation strategies.

**Why Climate Litigation Risk Management Matters**

From greenwashing allegations to supply chain emissions disputes, climate litigation can result in significant financial penalties, reputational damage, and operational disruptions. This form helps legal teams, sustainability officers, risk managers, and compliance professionals systematically evaluate exposure areas and build defensible positions before issues escalate.

**How Paperform Streamlines Your ESG Risk Processes**

Built on Paperform's flexible platform, this template transforms complex risk assessment into a manageable workflow. The conditional logic adapts questions based on your risk profile, while calculation fields automatically score risk levels across different categories. Once submitted, you can integrate responses directly into your risk management systems using [Stepper](https://stepper.io) to trigger follow-up workflows—whether that's assigning remediation tasks, scheduling legal reviews, or updating board reporting dashboards.

This form is ideal for sustainability directors, general counsels, ESG managers, risk officers, and compliance teams in industries with significant environmental footprints—including energy, manufacturing, transportation, real estate, and financial services. Whether you're conducting annual risk reviews or responding to emerging litigation trends, Paperform provides the professional, compliant foundation your climate risk management program requires.
