Résumé
This paper investigates how public climate regulation influences NGO activism against firms, offering novel insights into the interaction between formal regulation and civil society. Using a unique dataset combining firm-level NGO targeting with cross-country variation in regulation, we show that regulation significantly boosts NGO activity, even after controlling for visibility shocks like climate disasters. We identify two mechanisms: a salience mechanism, where regulation increases public attention, and a complementarity mechanism, where it enhances NGOs' monitoring capacity. Our findings highlight the complementary roles of regulation and civil society in shaping corporate behavior, offering new perspectives on climate governance and policy design.
