Shell Wins Appeal Against Dutch Climate Ruling on Emissions
Nov 12, 2024, 08:37 AM
A Dutch appeals court has overturned a landmark 2021 ruling that required Shell, Europe's largest energy company, to reduce its carbon emissions by 45% by 2030 compared to 2019 levels. The decision was a significant victory for Shell, which argued that there was no legal basis for the previous order under Dutch law. The court's decision could set a precedent for corporate emissions accountability globally, as it marks a setback for climate campaigners who had turned to legal channels to enforce climate action.
