Very exciting, another landmark climate case out of the Netherlands. Shell ordered to reduce emissions by 45% by 2030 (one 2019 levels). Amazing precedent set here!

Concreet een bevel van de rechter om uitstoot van Shell, inclusief toeleveranciers en afnemers, met 45% voor 2030 te reduceren tov 2019. Super! Gefeliciteerd Roger! Gefeliciteerd Milieudefensie en alle mede eisers! Fossiele industrie kan de borst natmaken!
