Typhoon Odette survivors to sue oil giant Shell for climate damage
Filipino survivors of Super Typhoon Odette are preparing to file a lawsuit in the United Kingdom against the oil giant Shell, accusing the company of contributing to climate change that exacerbated the typhoon's damage.
The claimants are seeking financial compensation for losses including loss of life, personal injury, and property damage, as well as injunctive relief to prevent future harmful actions by Shell.
One of the 67 claimants, Trixy Elle, expressed her determination to fight for her children's future despite the formidable challenge of taking on a large corporation like Shell.
The lawsuit, known as the 'Odette Case Campaign', is being supported by various advocacy groups including Greenpeace Philippines, Legal Rights and Natural Resources Center, the Philippine Movement for Climate Justice, and Uplift UK.
