The International Court of Justice (ICJ), the UN’s highest court, is set to issue a landmark advisory opinion clarifying the legal obligations of countries to address climate change. This decision comes after years of advocacy led by Vanuatu and other vulnerable nations suffering from severe climate impacts like rising seas and extreme weather. The ruling is expected to set a global legal benchmark, potentially shaping future climate litigation and holding governments more accountable for their climate actions or inaction. Over 100 countries and organizations provided input, highlighting the widespread significance of the case. The outcome could redefine international climate responsibility and accelerate global efforts to combat the climate crisis.
