Protesters are seen holding placards during the anti-Shell demonstration. Hundreds of people gathered at the Malieveld. From there, they walked to the headquarters of the oil and gas industry company Shell to make a delivery personally of more than 13, 000 signatures from the Dutch citizens backing the lawsuit. This would be a new legal approach in battling climate change, the first lawsuit to directly challenge the business model and growth strategy of an oil company. Seven environmental and human rights organizations in the Netherlands were prepared to sue Royal Dutch Shell if the oil giant refuse to align its business model with the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement. The groups, led by Friends of the Earth Netherlands/Milieudefensie and joined by Greenpeace Netherlands and Action Aid Netherlands. Police officers and Shell's security were present without intervening. (Photo by Ana Fernandez / SOPA Images/Sipa USA)
