Top U.N. court says countries must act on climate change
The International Court of Justice issued a strongly worded opinion yesterday saying that states must protect people from the “urgent and existential threat” of climate change, a major moment for the global environmental movement and for the countries at greatest risk of harm.
It was the first time that the court, which is the United Nations’ highest judicial body, has weighed in on climate change.
The unanimous opinion said that the failure of nations to take action to protect the climate system may constitute “an internationally wrongful act.” — Karen Zraick and Marlise Simons
