Machiko Kanetake from the TMC Asser Institute interviews legal experts Nataša Nedeski, Margaretha Wewerinke-Singh, Yusra Suedi and our ED Kate Mackintosh. Together they break down the ICJ’s historic climate opinion.

#ICJ #advisoryopinion #climatechange #internationallaw

Asser Institute @tmcasser.bsky.social · Jul 30

The #ICJ called climate change “an existential problem of planetary proportions.” But what does its new Advisory Opinion mean for climate law and policy? Our experts break it down in this interview led by Machiko Kanetake and Eylül Kabakcı.

🚀Super move by the International Court of Justice on July 23rd! In its #advisoryopinion on state obligations and #climatechange, the Court declared many things in line with what civil society and its youths wanted. Importantly for #EcoJustice, it has paved way for #climateaccountability!

The #ICJ opinion calls for ambitious climate plans. The third round of Nationally Determined Contributions are due this year. The #AdvisoryOpinion is a powerful reminder that countries must put forth ambitious, 1.5°C-aligned NDCs.

Image displaying quote from the International Court of Justice Advisory Opinion on national climate targets: "Each Party’s successive nationally determined contribution [NDCs] will represent a progression beyond the Party’s then current nationally determined contribution and reflect its
highest possible ambition."

@kylereed.bsky.social

But also - the value of an ICJ #AdvisoryOpinion isn't "just" legal. It's political. Considerable moral weight can be attached to an ICJ opinion - moral weight that states and civil society groups can draw on to create diplomatic and political pressure.

This is no small thing.

Ahead of today's ICJ #ClimateChange #AdvisoryOpinion, I've seen a lot of "but it won't be binding."

This is, like a lot of things, technically true and also beyond the point. 🧵 #IntLaw
