Filipino typhoon survivors sue Shell over climate change

Typhoon Rai struck the southern and central regions of the Philippines in December 2021, toppling power lines and trees and unleashing deadly floods that killed over 400 people and left hundreds of thousands homeless. The lawsuit on behalf of 103 survivors argues Shell's carbon emissions contributed to climate change, impacting Philippine communities. Trixy Elle, a plaintiff from a fishing community whose home and four boats were swept away in the typhoon, told AFP the lawsuit was about getting justice.
