Historischer Schritt! 🌍 Am 20. Mai 2026 hat die UN-Generalversammlung eine Resolution verabschiedet, die das Gutachten des Weltgerichts bekräftigt. Staaten stehen in der gesetzlichen Pflicht, das Klima vor Emissionen zu schützen.

📊 141 Ja, 8 Nein (u.a. USA, RUS, SAU), 28 Enthaltungen.

Laut UN-Chef Guterres ist Klimagerechtigkeit eine rechtliche Pflicht, keine politische Wahl.

One of the most important climate rulings in history began with students.

Pacific Island youth asked:
If #climatechange threatens entire nations, what does international law require governments to do?

The #UNGA brought that question to the International Court of Justice.

The Court’s answer was clear: governments already have legal duties and obligations to prevent climate harm.

On May 20, the #UNGA will decide whether to affirm that clarity.

From island youth to the world’s highest court — and now to every government.
