World Court is poised to mark the future course of climate litigation

International Court of Justice Advisory Opinion: The ICJ is set to deliver a significant advisory opinion on climate action that, while non-binding, will clarify international law obligations regarding greenhouse gas emissions and could influence future climate litigation.

Global Climate Action Debate: The opinion follows extensive hearings where developed nations advocated for existing non-binding treaties, while developing countries and small island states called for stronger, legally binding measures to combat climate change and hold major emitters accountable.
