💨 Abstract

A farmer in Huaraz, Peru is suing German energy firm RWE, alleging that its greenhouse gas emissions have contributed to faster glacier melt and increased flood risk in his city. The case, starting at the Higher Regional Court of Hamm in Germany, aims to hold corporations responsible for their emissions and set a precedent for climate change mitigation projects.
