On Tuesday, the Court of Appeal in The Hague largely rejected Milieudefensie's arguments, asserting that while Shell has obligations, primary responsibility lies with the government.
The court noted that Shell is already engaged in efforts to reduce emissions, indicating progress towards accountability and climate responsibility within its operations.
Shell's chief executive, Wael Sawan, expressed satisfaction with the ruling, which he views as beneficial both for the company's transition plans and broader global energy strategies.
Milieudefensie argued for Shell's accelerated emissions reductions to safeguard citizens, but the court's decision suggests a shift of accountability to government bodies.
