Criminal Climate Change Case Against TotalEnergies

Just as TotalEnergies’ plan to drill a wildcat in South Africa’s part of the prolific Orange Basin receives approval for the drilling operation, a criminal court case is unfolding in Paris, France, that could very possibly set a precedent in the history of climate litigation. It opens the way to holding fossil fuel producers and shareholders responsible for the chaos cause by climate change. There to provide support to three international NGOs, BLOOM (France), Santé Planétaire (France), and Nuestro Futuro (Mexico), and eight climate change victims, as they file a criminal case against TotalEnergies’ board of directors and shareholders, is The Green Connection and small-scale fishers from South Africa.
