What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

An NGO and federal prosecutors in Brazil filed a lawsuit against Shell's subsidiary, seeking $108 million in compensation for catastrophic flooding that occurred in southern Brazil in 2024. The legal action is based on an attribution study, which cites estimates that Shell holds responsibility for 2.02 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel and cement-making.
