The International Court of Justice (ICJ), the UN's highest court, is set to issue a landmark advisory opinion on the legal obligations of countries to address climate change.
Although the ruling is not legally binding, it is expected to set a powerful precedent and influence future climate litigation and policy worldwide. The case, driven by the small Pacific nation of Vanuatu and supported by youth activists, seeks to clarify whether nations have a duty to prevent climate harm and hold major polluters accountable. Over 100 countries and organizations contributed testimony, highlighting the global significance of the decision.
This moment is widely seen as a turning point in the fight for climate justice and could pressure governments to take stronger action against global warming.
