On February 24, another environmental case against Volkswagen will be heard

In Germany, a court rejected Greenpeace's lawsuit against automaker Volkswagen, which called on the company to strengthen its climate goals.

The plaintiffs - two Greenpeace executives and environmental activist Clara Mayer - plan to appeal and persuade the company to step up its efforts to protect the climate, Reuters reports.

"Today was not the final word on our climate lawsuits against Volkswagen," said Roland Hipp, one of the plaintiffs.

The article said that Volkswagen welcomed this decision. The company emphasized that civil lawsuits against individual companies are not the right way to determine action on climate change.

It is noted that on February 24 the hearing of another case regarding Volkswagen will take place. One farmer claims that the automaker's emissions are destroying his land and threatening his livelihood. The man is also supported by Greenpeace.

Earleir, EcoPolitic swrote, that in Germany, about 1,000 eco-activists are protesting against the expansion of RWE's Garzweiler coal mine at the expense of the demolition of the village of Lucerat. RWE has already dismantled one of the 8 wind turbines to expand the quarry.

As EcoPolitic previously reported, the French authorities brought charges against the manufacturers of the car brands Peugeot, Renault and Volkswagen due to manipulation of exhaust data diesel engines.
