Fortune Magazine calls the Dutch court ruling overturning the injunction that would have forced Shell to reduce its emissions to 45% of 2019 levels within 6 years a "Pyrrhic victory" for Shell:

-the Court of appeal recognizes that protection from climate change is a human right

-the decision did not rule out enforcement of "more specific" emission reduction strategies in the future, such as forcing them to stop new investments in oil and gas fields

-"Third, the case has already spurred the creation of regulatory obligations to reduce emissions."
