VU Climate Change and Sustainability Law Clinic et al. vs. One-Dyas

On January 23, 2024, VU Climate Change and Sustainability Law Clinic, North Sea Fossil Free, Scientists for Future NL, Scientist Rebellion NL, and Deutsche Umwelthilfe filed a complaint against One-Dyas B.V. to the Dutch NCP. According to the complainants, the life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions caused by the fossil gas extraction project from fields in the North Sea will significantly harm human rights and the environment, and undermine the objectives of international and European climate policy. They argue failure to identify these and human rights impacts in their environmental impact assessment and misrepresentation of climate-related impacts of the project. The complaint was filed under the 2023 version of the OECD Guidelines.
