In a historic and sweeping advisory opinion, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled that countries are legally obligated under international law to take strong action against climate change. The court declared that failing to curb greenhouse gas emissions and protect the environment could be considered an internationally wrongful act, opening the door for affected nations to seek reparations from major polluters. The ruling emphasizes that all states, regardless of their participation in specific treaties like the Paris Agreement, must act with due diligence to prevent global warming from exceeding 1.5°C. This decision marks a turning point in international climate law, strengthening the legal basis for climate justice and accountability. The ICJ’s opinion is non-binding but is expected to influence future climate litigation and embolden vulnerable nations in seeking compensation for climate-related damages.
