💨 Abstract

A Peruvian farmer is suing German energy giant RWE for contributing to the melting of Andean glaciers, causing a flood risk to his home. The case, starting in a German court on Monday, could establish precedent for companies being held accountable for climate change. The farmer seeks 21,000 euros from RWE, who argues they cannot be held responsible for global warming.
