- The International Court of Justice in The Hague has recognized a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment as a human right for the first time.
- The advisory opinion emphasizes states' international legal obligations to combat climate change and uphold the Paris Agreement’s 1.5-degree target.
- Failure to act adequately on climate change may constitute a breach of international law, and affected countries could claim compensation for damages.
- While not legally binding, the opinion carries significant legal weight and supports future litigation against states for harmful climate conduct.
The highest court in the world has given us a powerful new tool to protect people from the devastating impacts of the climate crisis - and to deliver justice for the damage their emissions have already caused.— said former UN Human Rights Commissioner Mary Robinson in a statement.
