The International Court of Justice (ICJ), the UN's highest court, is set to issue a landmark advisory opinion clarifying the legal responsibilities of countries to address climate change.
This case, driven by the Pacific island nation of Vanuatu and supported by over 130 countries, seeks to establish a global legal framework for climate accountability. While the ICJ's opinion is non-binding, it is expected to set a powerful precedent for future climate litigation and influence international policy. The ruling comes as vulnerable nations face mounting climate disasters, such as rising sea levels and extreme weather, highlighting the urgent need for stronger global action.
The decision is widely seen as a defining moment in the fight for climate justice.
