Vanuatu threatens to sue biggest carbon energy producers

(CNN)A tiny Pacific Island nation facing an existential threat due to climate change has put the world’s biggest carbon energy producers on notice.

Keep it up, that nation’s top diplomat warned, and you might face a lawsuit from Vanuatu.
“Vanuatu is now considering taking legal action both against these fossil fuel companies, but also potentially the governments that are facilitating them, subsidizing them, allowing them to operate this way,” Ralph Regenvanu, foreign minister of Vanuatu, told CNN at the COP24 climate talks in Poland last week.
