“The world’s highest court didn’t just speak — it spoke with one voice. The ICJ’s ruling is unanimous: governments have legal duties to act on the climate crisis, and delay is no longer an excuse.”

[Johan Rockström @jrockstrom]

Landmark ruling in the Advisory Opinion by the ICJ on Climate Change.
1.5 degree C is legally the Planetary limit.
All countries are legally obliged to comply.
Even fossil-fuel subsidies can be illegal.
States have duty to solve the planet crisis and can be held accountable.

[AOSIS @AOSISChair]

A Big Day for #ClimateJustice!

#ICJAO confirms achieving the 1.5°C is not just our moral duty, but a binding obligation of all countries under the Paris Agreement.
States are must ensure highest ambition in Nationally Determined Contributions to hold the 1.5°C limit.

In a newly published OA paper in npj Urban Sustainability, we suggest that building social empathy between urban planners and #migrants can lead to inclusive and #sustainable cities and facilitate recognition and procedural aspects of urban #climate_justice.🧵

[The Elders @TheElders]

#ICJ hearings opened today to clarify what countries are legally required to do to fight #ClimateChange.

A record number of countries are involved, and a strong decision could mark a turning point for climate justice.
