Celebrate the World Court’s Ruling for Climate Justice

In a historic ruling, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has declared that countries have a legal obligation to act on climate change — and those that fail to do so may be held accountable for the harm they cause.

The court’s opinion makes one thing clear: failing to curb fossil fuel emissions could be considered a violation of international law. That means polluting states may now face lawsuits, reparations, and other consequences for endangering lives, ecosystems, and our shared future.

This groundbreaking decision came after years of tireless advocacy, led by Pacific island nations like Vanuatu and brave youth climate activists. The ruling affirms what we’ve long known: a clean and healthy environment is a human right, and no country is above responsibility.

Add your name to applaud this major global victory for climate justice — and show your support for holding polluters accountable and protecting our planet for future generations!
