#ClimateJusticeAtTheICJ Amidst a world in crises, a glimmer of hope! I watched a clip of a Japanese writer (I dont remember their name) who said ‘Literature is like the human hair. Years later after the body has decayed, the hair remains. Thats literature’.

How the world's highest court bolstered the fight for climate reparations An International Court of Justice ruling that climate harm violates international law could shape reparations lawsuits as early as this week.

Another excellent article explaining why the International Court of Justice's climate ruling is so groundbreaking, including when it comes to #ClimateReparations 👇

‘We were heard’: the Pacific students who took their climate fight to the ICJ – and won - #Environment | The Guardian (Sera Sefeti in the Hague)

A group of Pacific students succeeded in bringing a case before the International Court of Justice (#ICJ), resulting in a ruling that states are […]

The Court directly states that #SeaLevelRise which threatens territory "does not necessarily entail a loss of statehood" and furthermore that "co-operation in addressing sea level rise is not a matter of choice for States but a legal obligation." This is key!

I am sooo excited about the International Court of Justice decision! #ClimateICJAO #ClimateJusticeAtTheICJ. This is a validation of what an entire movement has been saying for years. Now all states must act, particularly those most responsible. For what it means for the #UK, see below👇

This 👇🏽 let it sink in.

The ICJ has given its opinion on states obligation to tackle climate change. When we look at the ocean, not tackling offshore oil and gas is against the law.

The only option is to move towards a #fossilfreeocean

#ClimateJusticeAttheICJ

This is SO important. The International Court of Justice affirms that the failure to phase out #FossilFuels can constitute an internationally wrongful act, giving way to #ClimateReparations for related harm. 🔥
Truly a new dawn for climate action and accountability. ⚖️ #ClimateJusticeAtTheICJ
