Pari Island Residents Sue Holcim Over Climate Dispute
Residents filed complaint in 2023 after repeated flooding, blaming Holcim for 11% island loss.
Plaintiffs seek 3,600 Swiss francs each and demand 43% emissions reduction by 2030.
Holcim aims for net zero by 2050, having cut direct CO2 by 50% since 2015.
Both sides can appeal, with Holcim planning to appeal and two islanders supporting the decision.
Case is Switzerland's first climate litigation against a major firm, per NGOs.
