"Shareholder Sues Shell Executives Over Failure to Address Climate Risks".
Yes, in recent years, there have been several instances of shareholders suing executives and boards of directors of major corporations over their handling of climate risks. In the case of Shell, a Dutch shareholder organization filed a lawsuit against the company in 2021 alleging that Shell's management failed to adequately address the risks posed by climate change to the company and its stakeholders, and seeking to hold them accountable for taking decisive action to reduce the company's carbon emissions.
The lawsuit argues that Shell's directors and executives failed in their fiduciary duties by not taking sufficient steps to transition the company's business model to one that is compatible with the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate change, and by not adequately disclosing the financial risks posed by climate change to the company and its shareholders.
Such lawsuits reflect growing concerns about the financial and reputational risks posed by climate change to corporations and the need for companies to take a proactive approach to reducing their carbon footprint and mitigating the impact of their operations on the environment.
