I 2021 pålagde en hollandsk domstol Shell at reducere selskabets CO2-udledningerne med 45% inden 2030. Under den igangværende appelsag hævder Shell, at selskabet støtter energiomstillingen og klimapolitikker, men at den oprindelige dom er ineffektiv og byrdefuld.
Friends of the Earth i Holland mener, at Shell skal stå til ansvar for manglende klimahandling. Der ventes dom den 12. november 2024, skriver The Guardian.
