💨 Abstract

Italy's highest court has allowed a lawsuit against energy company ENI and its government shareholders to proceed, marking a significant step for climate justice. Climate activists, led by Greenpeace and ReCommon, claim damages for climate change effects. ENI, however, expects the claims to be dismissed. The ruling aligns Italian courts with other European nations in holding fossil fuel companies accountable for global warming. All parties acknowledge the court's decision to proceed with the case.
