flag A Belgian court will rule on a climate lawsuit where a farmer seeks €130,000 from TotalEnergies over climate damage to his farm from 2016 to 2020.

flag A Belgian court is set to rule on a landmark climate case where farmer Hugues Falys is seeking €130,000 in damages from TotalEnergies, claiming the company’s fossil fuel emissions caused climate-related damage to his farm between 2016 and 2020 through extreme weather. flag Supported by Greenpeace and other groups, the lawsuit argues TotalEnergies is liable for emissions from its products and seeks to halt new fossil fuel investments. flag TotalEnergies denies responsibility, calling the case “absurd,” noting its small share of the global oil and gas sector and emphasizing its 2050 carbon neutrality goal and the broader role of governments in climate policy. flag The verdict is expected at 2:00 pm GMT.
