Shell wins appeal in Dutch court after three-year battle against green groups


Shell wins an appeal in Dutch court after a legal battle against climate activists lasting for three years.

Climate activists won against Shell in 2021 when a Dutch court commanded the oil giant to reduce its carbon emissions by 45 percent by the end of 2030.
