Mahkamah Dunia Mengisytiharkan Tindakan Iklim yang Tidak Berkesan sebagai Haram: Negara-Negara Menghadapi Pembayaran Ganti Rugi kerana Gagal Bertindak

In a historic ruling, the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the United Nations' highest court, declared that countries are legally obligated under international law to address climate change and limit greenhouse gas emissions. The court found that failing to act on climate change could be considered an 'internationally wrongful act,' opening the door for affected nations to seek reparations from major polluters. The advisory opinion emphasizes that all states, regardless of their participation in the Paris Agreement, must take meaningful steps to prevent global warming from exceeding 1.5°C. This decision is seen as a major victory for climate justice advocates, especially vulnerable island nations, and could significantly influence future climate litigation and policy worldwide. While the ruling is non-binding, it sets a powerful legal precedent and increases pressure on governments and fossil fuel industries to take urgent action.
