Greenpeace has filed a lawsuit against Italian energy company Eni, accusing it of knowingly contributing to climate change. The lawsuit claims that Eni has failed to align its business model with the Paris Agreement and has misled the public about its environmental impact. Greenpeace is seeking an injunction to stop Eni from drilling for oil and gas and to make it pay for the damages caused by its emissions.
