The lawyers from ClientEarth — which is a Shell shareholder — said they are seeking to hold the oil and gas company’s 13 directors personally liable for what they consider to be a failure to adequately prepare for the global shift to a low-carbon economy. They say that the board has failed to adopt and implement a climate strategy that aligns with the 2015 Paris Agreement, claiming that amounts to an alleged breach of the directors’ duties under the UK Companies Act.
The climate religious movement takes their movement to court.
