PARIS, Sept 22 — The cities of Paris and New York have joined a coalition of associations and local authorities that are suing oil major TotalEnergies or failing to adequately fight climate change, the coalition said in a statement on Wednesday.
TotalEnergies said in a statement it regretted the litigation, adding that it viewed its commitment to renewable energy and electricity as “a much more efficient response to the climate challenge than litigation”. The coalition wants a judge to order TotalEnergies to “take the necessary measures to drastically reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and align itself with the objectives of the Paris Agreement”, in a move that it said would be “similar to the Shell decision in the Netherlands”.
The coalition made the announcement that New York and Paris were joining the fight following a hearing at the Paris Judicial Court on Wednesday.
