Mahkamah Teratas Dunia Mengisytiharkan Tindakan Iklim yang Tidak Berkesan sebagai Pelanggaran Undang-Undang Antarabangsa - Negara-Negara Menghadapi Konsekuensi Undang-Undang dan Kewangan

The International Court of Justice (ICJ), the United Nations' highest court, has issued a landmark advisory opinion stating that all countries are legally obligated under international law to take strong action against climate change. The ruling affirms that failing to curb greenhouse gas emissions and protect the climate system could breach international law and lead to legal liability, including potential reparations for countries harmed by climate impacts. Wealthy and high-emitting nations are specifically called out to comply with their climate commitments or face financial responsibility to vulnerable nations. The opinion, prompted by a campaign led by Pacific Island nations like Vanuatu, marks a historic step for climate justice and accountability. While the ICJ's opinion is not directly enforceable, it sets a powerful legal precedent and could influence future climate litigation and international negotiations.
