The British oil and gas company Shell does not have to drastically reduce its CO2 emissions after all. A civil court in The Hague overturned a corresponding climate ruling by the court of first instance and dismissed the lawsuit brought by the environmental organization Milieudefensie. The ruling is considered a victory for the energy company, but Milieudefensie has announced that it will continue to fight. The organization is now likely to appeal to the highest court.
