#ClimateLitigation #RightToRemedy

Last but not least, CIEL, together with @earthjustice.bsky.social, released a statement welcoming the UN Human Rights' summary report of the panel discussion on #LossAndDamage & #HumanRights and reminding States to fulfill the #RightToRemedy in the context of climate harm.

Remedy and Reparations for Climate Harm: The Human Rights Case (November 2024) - Center for International Environmental Law CIEL new report sets out the legal basis for demanding that States and corporations uphold their obligations to provide redress formounting climate harm.

Why #SaulvsRWE matters?

⚖️ The Court already recognized the global nature of GHG emissions & related #ClimateHarm.

This is critical for:
⛽ corporate accountability of the #FossilFuels industry & other #CarbonMajors
🌱 the #RightToRemedy for #LossAndDamage

People harmed by the climate crisis have a #RightToRemedy - including full reparation - under public international and human rights law.

Critically, such remedy and reparation can encompass debt justice.

Under the UNFCCC, rich nations continue to deny their obligations related to the #RightToRemedy for #ClimateHarm, but the global climate regime does NOT define or limit pre-existing legal obligations (see 👇).

👀 Even now, in front of the world's highest Court, they continue these attempts.

The ICJ can help break the UNFCCC's inertia, especially regarding #ClimateAccountability.

For far too long, climate negotiations have failed to uphold obligations to redress mounting #ClimateHarm or #LossAndDamage.

⚖️ The law is clear: those harmed have a #RightToRemedy

👍 There is no getting around the fundamental principle of law that where there is a breach of duty & injury ensues, there is a corresponding obligation to cease the wrong and repair the harm.

#ClimateReparations #RightToRemedy

Call for climate reparations at the ICJ even more urgent after COP29 falls short Legal clarity from the International Court of Justice would be a first step towards climate reparations to those who had their rights harmed

Those harmed by the #ClimateCrisis have a #RightToRemedy incl. full #ClimateReparations

⚖️The International Court of Justice has a critical role to play in clarifying related obligations
