In a historic ruling, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has declared that all countries are legally obligated under international law to take strong action against climate change. The court found that failing to curb greenhouse gas emissions and protect the environment could breach international law and lead to legal liability, including potential reparations for nations harmed by climate impacts. This landmark opinion affirms the right to a healthy environment as a human right and opens the door for countries, especially those most affected by climate change, to sue major polluters. The decision puts wealthy and high-emitting nations on notice, signaling a new era of climate accountability and justice. The ruling is being hailed as a major victory for climate justice advocates and vulnerable communities worldwide.
