Dutch court overturns Shell's emissions cut mandate, halting 45% reduction target by 2030.

A Dutch appeals court has overturned a 2021 ruling that required Shell to cut its carbon emissions by 45% by 2030. The court acknowledged Shell's responsibility to address climate change but did not set a specific emissions reduction target. Friends of the Earth, which brought the case, expressed disappointment but vowed to continue fighting major polluters. Shell welcomed the decision, emphasizing its commitment to becoming a net-zero emissions business by 2050.
