The International Court of Justice (ICJ), the UN’s highest court, is set to issue a landmark advisory opinion on the legal responsibilities of countries to address climate change.
This decision comes after years of advocacy led by Vanuatu and other vulnerable nations facing severe climate impacts like rising seas and devastating cyclones. The ruling is expected to clarify what actions governments are legally required to take to prevent and mitigate climate change, potentially shaping future climate litigation and international policy. Over 100 countries and organizations contributed testimony, highlighting the global significance of the case.
The outcome could set a new legal benchmark for climate accountability worldwide.
