    • Synopsis
    • Duty of Care exclusively presents the inside story of Roger Cox, the first and only lawyer to have successfully sued a government and an oil giant in landmark court cases, which established that catastrophic climate change can be made illegal. Roger’s groundbreaking cases against the Dutch government and oil giant Shell established that those in power owe a duty of care to citizens to avoid catastrophic climate change, stunning legal experts and sending shockwaves through parliaments and corporate boardrooms around the world.
