A pivotal legal decision looms as the Dutch court prepares to rule on the 2021 climate mandate against Shell.

The landmark verdict demanded the oil and gas company slash its greenhouse emissions by 45% by 2030. This decision arrives amid global climate discussions at the COP29 summit in Baku.

Shell argues against judicial mandates on corporate emissions, citing potential business impacts. The court's resolution is expected to further escalate the legal battle over environmental responsibilities.
