Dutch climate group Milieudefensie is preparing to take Shell to court for a second time, aiming to cease new oil and gas project developments due to their contribution to rising carbon emissions. They have highlighted that Shell has 700 such projects ongoing, contradicting climate change mitigation efforts. This lawsuit follows a previous court case where Milieudefensie was initially triumphant but later overruled in requiring specific emissions reductions. The group now seeks a ban on Shell's new fossil fuel projects instead of percentage targets, emphasizing the urgency of the climate crisis.
"At a time in which the climate crisis continues to rage on because of the actions of companies such as Shell, every new oil or gas field is simply one too many."
"We simply cannot sit back and wait while Shell continues on its fossil path. Shell remains fully committed to new oil and gas fields, despite warnings from scientists that this will have disastrous consequences."
