The landmark 2021 ruling of a Dutch court that ordered Shell to slash its emissions could impact that company's role in the energy transition.
The landmark ruling of a Dutch court that ordered Shell to slash its emissions could obstruct the role the supermajor can play in the energy transition and could slow the fight against climate change, Shell’s lawyers argued on Tuesday in the hearing of the company’s appeal against the ruling.
Shell appealed the ruling, and today, on the first day of hearings in The Hague in the appeal, Shell’s lawyer Daan Lunsingh Scheurleer told the court that “This case has no legal basis,” as carried by Reuters. The court ruling also “obstructs the role that Shell can and wants to play in the energy transition,” Shell’s lawyer argued.
