flag 67 Filipinos sue Shell in UK court, blaming its emissions for worsening Typhoon Odette and seeking compensation.

flag Sixty-seven Filipinos are suing Royal Dutch Shell in a UK court over Super Typhoon Odette’s devastation in 2021, blaming the company’s fossil fuel emissions for intensifying the storm and seeking compensation for lives lost and homes destroyed. flag The case, rooted in Philippine law but filed in London due to Shell’s headquarters, argues Shell failed to act responsibly despite knowing climate risks, challenging corporate accountability. flag It joins ongoing lawsuits from Nigeria’s Niger Delta, where communities allege decades of pollution and inadequate remediation. flag With major investors like BlackRock and Norway’s sovereign fund holding large stakes, the cases highlight growing legal and ethical pressure on Shell, signaling a shift toward enforcing the “polluter pays” principle amid rising climate liability risks.
