"The United Nations has just backed a landmark resolution on climate justice.
Last week, the UN General Assembly supported a Pacific-led resolution asking
the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to provide an advisory opinion on a
country’s climate obligations.
This has been hailed as a “turning point in climate justice” and a victory for
the Pacific youth who spearheaded the campaign.
But what does this UN decision actually mean? Does an advisory opinion from the
ICJ have any teeth? And what might be the legal consequences for rich
countries, like Australia, that have contributed the most to the climate
problem?"
