Climate Lawsuit Against Oil Giant Eni Can Move Forward

This week, Italy’s highest court ruled that a climate lawsuit brought by Greenpeace Italy and advocacy group ReCommon against Eni can move forward. In the decision, released on Monday, the court rejected Italian oil and gas company Eni’s motions to dismiss the lawsuit on jurisdictional grounds, and ordered that the case be heard on its merits by the Court of Rome. “This decision means that the lawsuit is legitimate, that the plaintiffs have the right to bring it, and that the Italian judge has a duty to rule on it,” Alessandro Gariglio, lawyer for Greenpeace Italy, said in an interview with DeSmog.

Greenpeace Is Being ‘SLAPPed’ Again By Another Fossil Fuel Giant

Italian fossil fuel company ENI has filed an official Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation (SLAPP), targeting two organisations, Greenpeace Italy and ReCommon. It is the latest fossil fuel major to launch an ill-founded legal assault at a Greenpeace organisation, joining Shell, Total, and Energy Transfer in an attack against civil freedoms and environmental protection. “There is no surprise in ENI joining other climate polluters like Shell, TotalEnergies and Energy Transfer in trying to silence civil society. The business model of the oil and gas industry entails both an assault on people and nature, as well as oppression of those who call it out,” stated Greenpeace Italy and ReCommon.
