"A German court dismissed a lawsuit filed by a Peruvian farmer against energy giant RWE regarding climate-related flood risks. The court ruled that the risk of flooding to the plaintiff's property was not high enough to warrant a legal remedy. However, the ruling established that major greenhouse gas emitters can, in principle, be held liable for climate harms."
Author: William D. Nordhaus
