The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is set to issue a landmark advisory opinion clarifying the legal obligations of countries to address climate change.
This ruling comes after a campaign led by Vanuatu and other vulnerable nations, supported by youth activists, who are already experiencing severe impacts from rising seas, cyclones, and environmental degradation. The ICJ's decision is expected to shape the future of global climate litigation and could strengthen the legal framework for holding governments accountable for climate inaction. Over 100 nations and organizations contributed testimony, highlighting the urgent need for international cooperation.
The outcome is seen as a defining moment for climate justice, especially for small island states on the frontlines of the crisis.
