The International Court of Justice (ICJ), the United Nations' 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 by vulnerable nations like Vanuatu, which are already suffering severe impacts from rising seas and extreme weather. The ruling is expected to clarify what actions governments are legally required to take to prevent further climate harm and may set a global legal benchmark for future climate litigation. Over 100 countries and organizations contributed testimony, highlighting the widespread demand for stronger climate accountability.
The outcome could reshape international climate policy and empower affected communities to seek justice.
