Filipinos hit by Super Typhoon Odette sue Shell in UK over climate damage, citing emissions-linked storm intensification.
Survivors of Super Typhoon Odette, which hit the Philippines in December 2021, have filed a UK lawsuit against Shell, blaming the company’s carbon emissions for intensifying the storm’s impact.
The claim, backed by Greenpeace and filed by 103 victims through UK law firm Hausfeld, argues Shell’s historical emissions contributed to climate change, worsening the typhoon’s destruction.
The case, rooted in climate attribution science and supported by a prior German court ruling and an ICJ advisory opinion, seeks compensation for lives lost, injuries, and property damage.
Shell denies liability, calling the claim baseless.
The UK High Court has listed the case, which highlights global efforts to hold fossil fuel companies accountable for climate-related harm, especially in vulnerable nations.
