The International Court of Justice begins hearings on a significant climate change case, which seeks to clarify the legal responsibilities of countries in combating climate change, particularly for vulnerable island nations facing existential threats from rising sea levels. This unprecedented case follows years of advocacy from nations like Vanuatu and aims to establish whether climate-harming actions are unlawful. While the court's decision will be non-binding, it could set a legal precedent and spur further international action on climate issues.
