July changed everything. The ICJ (and IACtHR) confirmed: climate action isn’t optional—it’s a legal duty. States must act with strict due diligence, in line with equity/CBDR-RC, to protect current and future generations. 1.5°C is the LIMIT, not the baseline. #ICJ #IACtHR
Need rights-based insight during #COP30? CIEL experts will be available, on site in Belém or remotely, to comment on: 🌐 #ICJ, #IACtHR, & #ITLOS opinions ⚖️ #UNFCCC reform 🌍 Carbon markets & #geoengineering 🛡️ Environmental defenders 💬 #JustTransition & #LossAndDamage
🗣️ The Court built on a growing body of legal precedent, including Advisory Opinions ( #ICJ, #IACtHR, #ITLOS ) and national rulings, affirming states’ duty to regulate fossil fuel production and account for exported emissions.

"Three of the world’s most prominent courts have addressed States’ legal obligations in the context of climate change.

Their conclusions showed a significant convergence on several key issues, including the role of science, the standard of due diligence, the duty to cooperate, the role of private actors, the importance of human rights, and the need for reparations."
