विश्व न्यायालय ने घोषित किया कि जलवायु के प्रति अनकार्यकरण अंतरराष्ट्रीय कानून का उल्लंघन है - राष्ट्रों को कानूनी और वित्तीय परिणामों का सामना करना होगा।

In a historic ruling, the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the United Nations' highest court, declared that all countries have a legal obligation under international law to address climate change and limit greenhouse gas emissions. The court stated that failing to act on climate change could be considered an 'internationally wrongful act,' opening the door for affected nations to seek reparations from major polluters. The advisory opinion emphasizes that a healthy environment is a human right and that wealthy nations, in particular, must comply with their climate commitments or face financial liability. This decision is seen as a major victory for climate justice advocates and could significantly influence future climate litigation and policy worldwide. The ruling was prompted by a case brought by Pacific Island nations, highlighting the disproportionate impact of climate change on vulnerable communities.
