Milieudefensie/Friends of the Earth Netherlands said Tuesday it has notified Shell that it plans a new lawsuit in which it will accuse the company of breaking Dutch law by investing in new oil and gas fields. The suit is also expected to allege that the company is violating its climate obligation by relying on fossil fuels. An appeals court last November handed a legal victory to Shell, overturning a 2021 ruling that required the company to slash its greenhouse gas emissions 45 percent by 2030 from 2019 levels. The court found that although Shell had an obligation to address climate change, the lower court could not force it to take action.
