ศาลสูงสุดของสหประชาชาติประกาศว่าสิทธิมนุษยชนในการมีสิ่งแวดล้อมที่สุขภาพดีเป็นสิทธิมนุษยชน ซึ่งเป็นทางเลือกสำหรับความยุติธรรมทางสิ่งแวดล้อม

In a historic advisory opinion, the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the United Nations' highest court, has ruled that countries have a legal obligation under international law to address climate change and protect the environment. The court declared that failing to act on climate change could violate international law and that a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment is a fundamental human right. While the ruling is non-binding, it is expected to influence future climate litigation and strengthen the position of vulnerable nations in political negotiations. The decision opens the door for countries harmed by climate change to seek reparations from major polluters. This landmark opinion marks a significant step toward global climate accountability and justice.
