🌍 @clientearth.bsky.social's case against Shell may have failed, but "it's only a matter of time before directors are held personally liable for not doing enough to manage climate risk" This will be a HUGE tipping point in terms of corporate accountability. @lauraclarkece.bsky.social bit.ly/3X0uaX8
