In a historic and sweeping advisory opinion, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has ruled that countries are legally obligated under international law to take strong action against climate change. The court declared that failing to curb greenhouse gas emissions and protect the environment could constitute a violation of international law, opening the door for nations harmed by climate change to seek reparations from major polluters. The ruling affirms that a healthy environment is a human right and that wealthy and high-emitting countries must comply with their climate commitments or face legal and financial consequences. This decision is expected to embolden climate litigation worldwide and marks a turning point in global climate accountability. The case was initiated by vulnerable Pacific Island nations, highlighting the power of grassroots advocacy in shaping international law.
