2/ This #ClimateICJAO confirms what those on the frontlines have been saying for years: #ClimateJustice is a matter of right. 👏 And it is a testament to the perseverance of the Pacific States and students, and youth globally, who spearheaded this case.

3/ States' obligations to address the #ClimateCrisis come from a variety of international sources, inc. ✅ climate law + other int'l environmental law ✅ #HumanRights law ✅ customary international law, inc. the duties to prevent transboundary environmental harm & to cooperate

4/ And these obligations apply to ALL States. NO country is exempt! All have duties, in line with common but differentiated responsibilities, to take action to keep global temperature rise to #1o5. ❌This includes regulating the production, use, & other enablers of #FossilFuels🛢️

5/ And if there's a breach, there are consequences. States may have to: 🛑Stop the harmful action ➕Prevent repetition ➕Provide reparations, including monetary and non-monetary ones The age of climate impunity is ending! #ClimateJusticeAtTheICJ

6/ This moment was driven by a global majority demanding #ClimateJustice & the Court made clear: the law is on our side! Now's the time to put this into action and ensure the right to a clean, healthy & sustainable environment, inc. safe climate for present & future generations.
