A Dutch court has overturned a previous ruling requiring Shell to cut its carbon emissions by 45% by 2030. The Court of Appeal of The Hague stated that there is insufficient consensus in climate science on specific reduction percentages. While Shell has a duty of care to limit emissions, the ruling was a setback for environmental groups. Shell expressed satisfaction with the decision, emphasizing its commitment to becoming a net-zero emissions energy business by 2050 and its ongoing green investments.
