The environmental law charity is urging a UK court to reconsider its dismissal of the NGO’s landmark Shell lawsuit against the firm’s board of directors over alleged inaction against climate change.

BP is to acquire Shell’s 27% stake in the offshore Browse gas project, reigniting divisions in Australia’s gas sector.

The world-first Client Earth Shell lawsuit will have a ‘snowball’ effect, prompting other shareholder activist groups to take similar actions, say commentators.
