In a historic ruling, the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the United Nations' highest court, declared that 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 be considered an internationally wrongful act, opening the door for nations to be held liable for climate damages. This landmark opinion means that wealthy and high-emitting countries may face lawsuits and be required to pay reparations to nations most affected by climate change, especially vulnerable island states. The ruling was driven by years of advocacy from activists and small island nations, and is expected to influence future climate litigation and international policy. Experts and campaigners have hailed the decision as a turning point for climate justice and accountability worldwide.
