CLEAN : Climate groups take on Shell in landmark Dutch case

The transcript discusses a legal case against Shell, urging the company to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 50% over the next decade. Shell argues that responsibility for climate change is shared globally, but the plaintiffs emphasize Shell's significant role as a major polluter. The impact of emissions is highlighted, particularly in vulnerable regions of the global South. The courts are seen as a last resort to enforce climate action, with hopes that a favorable ruling will prompt other companies to act responsibly without legal intervention.
