Interviews, news and analysis of the day’s global events.

Climate activists have won a ground breaking ruling in a Dutch court against the oil giant Shell. Friends of the Earth, which launched the case, said the verdict was an enormous victory for millions of people threatened by climate change.  

The court ruled that Shell must cut its greenhouse gas emissions by almost half by the end of the decade, compared with 2019 levels.
