TotalEnergie is sued by a Belgian farmer. Hugues Falys took the French oil and gas giant to court on Wednesday for its responsibility in climate change.
TotalEnergies is the target of several legal actions against its strategy or against its gas and oil projects, including the very controversial Tilenga/Eacop project in Uganda and Tanzania. The group argues that these projects are necessary to meet global demand for hydrocarbons. It also claims that it devotes a third of its investments to low-carbon energies, notably wind and solar power.
