The International Court of Justice (ICJ), the United Nations' highest court, has issued a landmark advisory opinion stating that countries have a legal obligation to address climate change and protect the environment.

While the ruling is non-binding, it is expected to influence future climate litigation and strengthen the position of vulnerable nations in global negotiations.

This marks a significant step toward global climate accountability and sets a new legal benchmark for climate action.
