Netherlands: Shell wins appeal on landmark emissions ruling

Source: Al Jazeera [Qatari state media]

“A Dutch court has sided with Shell on its appeal against an earlier ruling that it was obligated to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions to help prevent climate change. An appeals court in The Hague on Tuesday dismissed the ruling, saying the oil and gas company is on its way to meeting emission targets that it has set for itself, and that it is unclear if reducing emissions caused by its products would help the fight against climate change. The verdict came a day after the COP29 climate summit opened. The annual United Nations event, hosted by Azerbaijan, was launched on Monday amid warnings that 2024 is on track to break temperature records.” (11/12/24)
