A Belgian farmer sues TotalEnergies over climate damage to his farm, seeking compensation and a halt to new fossil fuel projects.
A Belgian farmer, Hugues Falys, has filed the first climate lawsuit in Belgium against TotalEnergies, claiming the company’s fossil fuel operations caused extreme weather that damaged his farm between 2016 and 2020.
Backed by Greenpeace and human rights groups, he seeks compensation and a halt to new fossil fuel projects.
TotalEnergies denies liability, stating climate change is a global issue and no direct link can be proven.
The case, heard in Tournai, is expected to conclude early next year with a verdict anticipated in early 2026.
