2022 has been the year of the greatest number of legal cases relating to climate. These cases range from efforts to prevent the expansion of fossil fuel and petrochemical extraction to challenges to government for their continued inaction in regulating companies and holding them accountable.  Notable among these legal actions is the 2021 case won by Friends of the Earth Netherlands (Milieudefensie) against Shell in the International Court of Justice to reduce its emissions by 45% within 10 years.
