A group of 43 Pakistani farmers from the Sindh region, whose livelihoods were severely impacted by floods three years ago, have begun legal proceedings against two of Germany’s most polluting companies, RWE and Heidelberg Cement. The farmers claim that these companies’ contributions to climate change contributed to the extreme flooding that destroyed their harvests. Lawyers for the farmers have sent formal letters to both companies, warning of their intention to sue later this year.
