The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is set to issue a landmark advisory opinion clarifying the legal responsibilities of countries to address climate change. This ruling comes after a campaign led by the Pacific island nation of Vanuatu, which faces severe climate impacts such as rising seas and devastating cyclones. The case has drawn global attention, with over 100 nations and organizations providing testimony, and is seen as a defining moment for climate justice. The ICJ’s decision could shape future climate litigation and strengthen the legal framework for holding governments accountable for environmental harm. Youth activists and vulnerable nations hope the ruling will drive stronger international action to protect communities most at risk.
