Mahkamah Tinggi Dunia Menyatakan Tindakan Iklim yang Tidak Dilakukan sebagai Pelanggaran Hukum Internasional—Negara-negara Harus Mematuhi Kewajiban Hukum untuk Bertindak

In a historic advisory opinion, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled that all countries are legally obligated under international law to address climate change and curb greenhouse gas emissions. The court declared climate change an 'urgent and existential threat,' affirming that failure to act could breach international law and potentially lead to reparations for affected nations. The ruling singles out major polluters and wealthy nations, stating that existing treaties compel them to take stronger action to limit global warming and protect vulnerable communities. The opinion, though not legally binding, sets a powerful precedent and is expected to bolster global efforts for climate justice and accountability. The decision is widely hailed as a turning point, recognizing a healthy environment as a human right and opening the door for legal action against countries that fail to meet climate commitments.
