A huge thank you to all involved in the successful adoption by consensus of the #ICJAO4Climate resolution. Wonderful to have our Hon. PM and Minister in town for this special occasion. Also having our youth activists, legal team and other friends in town. Special shout out to the #ICJAO4Climate Core Group, both Ambassadors and experts who have been working tirelessly in NY to fine-tune the draft resolution and legal questions, and build consensus and support for the #ICJAO4Climate. Excited to move into the next phase and continue this momentum as we and global community work in coordination to make submissions to deliver an advisory opinion of value that will contribute meaningfully to #climatejustice #climateaction @CIJ_ICJ@antonioguterres@ForumSEC@pisfcc@WY4CJ

We are the miraculous, we are the true wonder of this world
That is when, and only when
We come to it."
