The world’s highest court affirmed that governments have legal obligations to address the climate crisis. Now the UN General Assembly has a chance to act.

As one of the world’s largest historical emitters, the U.S. must support strong global cooperation and meaningful climate action. #ClimateICJAO

In a fragmented world, the #UNGA resolution endorsing the ICJ Climate Opinion offers a path back to cooperation.

From the Pacific to the EU, this is about acting together.

We stand with 2025 Laureate Pacific Islands Students Fighting Climate Change and Vanuatu!

SMT celebrates Pacific youth & climate activists whose tireless organizing & leadership have led to a historic win: states can now be held accountable for climate harm.
A big win for frontline communities and climate justice worldwide. ✊🌏 #ClimateICJAO #ClimateJusticeAtTheICJ

This is not new law! It’s the world's highest court, the International Court of Justice, #ICJ reaffirming that existing climate commitments are legally binding and must be enforced.

That’s real #ClimateJusticeAtTheICJ in action.

#ClimateICJAO #AOLetsGO #ClimateJustice #ActonClimate

Last week the world watched the #ClimateICJAO. The Pacific Youth that took the issue to the ICJ went from anxious to proud as the judges delivered real climate justice.

Sera Sefeti’s report captures every moment ➡️ www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Private actors, incl. fossil fuel producers, must be regulated! #ClimateICJAO: "State may be responsible where...it has failed to exercise due diligence by not taking the necessary regulatory and legislative measures to limit the quantity of emissions caused by private actors under its jurisdiction"

The Court affirms the importance of States ensuring that their collective actions limit warming to <1.5°C above preindustrial. The work Alliance of Small Island States did over decades was pivotal to having the higher ambition 1.5°C included in treaties & to having it reaffirmed in the #ClimateICJAO

I finished reading the full text of the #ICJ advisory opinion on #ClimateChange. I am deeply grateful to Pacific Islands Students Fighting Climate Change & the nation of Vanuatu for leading the way to this incredible win!

And it is a testament to the perseverance of the Pacific States and students, and youth globally, who spearheaded this case.

A historic opinion from the International Court of Justice underlines states’ obligations to tackle climate change, confirming that international law requires states to prevent significant harm to the climate system—and that failure to do so can trigger legal responsibility.

A news article that says "International Court of Justice says countries failing to tackle climate change risk breaking international law" and below are climate protesters with lots of signs. Above are the words "Huge news! The ICJ rules that a clean, healthy, stable environment is a human right. The case that started with 27 Pacific Islander law students from Vanuatu can now give legal weight to other cases holding governments to account for their climate inaction all over the world."

A quote from UN Secretary-General António Guterres "This is a victory for our planet, for climate justice and for the power of young people to make a difference"

A much needed win for the climate movement and Pacific Nations! #climateicjao Huge shout out to the young Pacific Island leaders who have fought tirelessly to achieve this decision ❤🌎

“This decision heralds a new frontier in the movement for climate accountability. The climate impacts felt most acutely by the Global South, women, children, low-income, Black, Indigenous and people of color are undeniably litigable.”

📣 Baanbrekende uitspraak!

Het Internationaal Gerechtshof zegt dat landen de plicht hebben om klimaat te beschermen. Dit betekent dat landen verplicht zijn om bedrijven te reguleren en de uitstoot van vervuilende bedrijven te beperken.

#Klimaatrechtvaardigheid #ClimateJusticeAtTheICJ #ClimateICJAO

The #ClimateICJAO confirms that States have a binding legal duty to prevent climate harm and protect human rights from the impacts of climate change. This is a historical turning point in the fight for climate justice - those who have polluted the most must answer to those who have paid the price.

👏 The world's highest court has ruled that states have legal duties to act on climate change and that inaction violates human rights.

A huge victory for the planet, for the future, and led by the Pacific Islands Students Fighting Climate Change.
