German court rejects Peruvian farmer's landmark climate case

German court rejects landmark climate case filed by Peruvian farmer against RWE, a German energy giant, claiming global emissions led to glacier melt in Peru. Saúl Luciano Lliuya sought €17,000 for a flood defence project in Huaraz but was denied by the court in Hamm, citing low flood risk to his property. Despite the rejection, the case has sparked hope among activists to hold corporations accountable for climate damages, as judges acknowledged the responsibility energy companies have for their carbon emissions.
