#climatecase — Public Fediverse posts

🚨 A new #climatecase against Shell has been launched by Milieudefensie: they are asking the court to put a stop to Shell’s new oil and gas expansion.

700 new oil and gas fields are planned on Shell’s agenda worldwide that would only increase Shell’s emissions 👇

"The case - filed in September 2020 against the 27 #EU member states as well as #Britain, #Switzerland, #Norway, #Russia and #Turkey - is the largest #ClimateCase ever to be heard by the European Court of Human Rights (#ECHR) in Strasbourg.

Backed by the British-based Global Legal Action Network (GLAN), the Portuguese applicants, aged between 11 and 24, want a legally-binding decision that would force states to act."

Woke up slowly by #CanyonFerry #Montana where folks bring their giant fishing boats to launch. Stopped in #Helena where the #ClimateCase is being heard. Third courtroom I visited! Very interesting. Gas and lunch in #GreatFalls before returning to #Canada I think my US $ will get me a last tank of gas before I cross the border and start paying fuel taxes again. #roadtrip

Last week, ClientEarth filed a new claim against Shell’s Board of Directors for failing to move away from fossil fuels fast enough. Cynthia Hanawalt and Maria Antonia Tigre wrote about the implications of this #climatecase for #corporateliability on our blog, which has a new look by the way!
