On Wednesday, a court in the Netherlands ordered energy giant Royal Dutch Shell to cut its carbon emissions by 45 percent before the decade is over. Ruling on a suit filed by the Netherlands branch of Friends of the Earth, the court concluded that Royal Dutch Shell's current plans to reduce emissions are incompatible with the targets of the Paris agreement.

Shell has already announced that it intends to appeal the decision.
