💨 Abstract

A Peruvian farmer, Saul Luciano Lliuya, is suing German energy giant RWE for contributing to the melting of Andean glaciers through emissions. The case, which began in 2015, could set a precedent for future climate litigation, making companies accountable for past emissions and requiring them to help fund climate adaptation for affected communities. Lliuya wants RWE to pay towards a flood defense project for his home.
