French Police Attack Climate Activists Protesting TotalEnergies' Annual Investor Meeting
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Paris, French riot police deployed tear gas and pepper spray as
hundreds of climate activists converged on the Total Energies
shareholders' meeting earlier today. Investors are voting on a
resolution to make accelerated emissions cuts in line with the French
government's climate goals - a measure opposed by Total's board. The
protests in Paris come days after activists in London disrupted Shell's
annual shareholders' meeting.
