Analyze information in light of potential climate crimes

The CCCA defines the legal contours of a case by conducting a legal and forensic analysis of all prima facie credible information for the potential investigation and prosecution of climate crimes. In so doing, it undertakes the following steps:

• Identify reliable information by applying a standard analytical methodology, by focussing on the best information and by seeking corroboration from multiple independent sources.
  
• Analyse reliable information in light or the relevant substantive and procedural law. The CCCA ensures that there is a jurisdictional basis and focusses on crimes that are most likely to be prosecuted successfully.
• Analyze potentially exonerating information and theories.
• Conduct a gap analysis and provide lead information on how the identified gaps could be addressed through a formal investigation.
• Identify and analyse security risks for sources.
