The International Court of Justice (ICJ), the United Nations' highest court, has issued a historic advisory opinion stating that countries are legally obligated under international law to take strong action against climate change. The ruling affirms that failing to curb greenhouse gas emissions or protect vulnerable nations could be considered an 'internationally wrongful act,' opening the door for affected countries to seek reparations from major polluters. This decision is hailed as a major victory for small island states and climate activists, especially those from the Pacific, who initiated the case. The ICJ's opinion is expected to embolden climate litigation worldwide and increase pressure on wealthy, high-emission countries to meet their climate commitments. While the ruling is advisory and not legally binding, it sets a powerful precedent that could reshape global climate accountability and justice.
