The world’s top court says climate change “imperils all forms of life” 🌏⚖️. Governments now face stronger legal duties to act. theconversation.com/historic-cli... #Climate

Excited to share my article titled “Historic climate change ruling from the 23 July 2025 @CIJ_ICJ International Court of Justice: what it means for Africa” has just been published in The Conversation, Africa 🔗 theconversation.com/historic-cli...

Please remember this story behind the AO next time someone tells you that things cannot be changed. What a fantastic and historic win. ‘We were heard’: the Pacific students who took their climate fight to the ICJ – and won www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Did you notice how several of the ICJ erga omnes arguments today were similar but taken one step further by the IACtHR? As Judge Tladi highlighted, perhaps considering them jus cogens would have made good sense? Also because they used art. 48 ARSIWA commonly associated with jus cogens violations.

Such an important Declaration by ICJ Judge Tladi: While declaring the erga omnes character of the climate obligation, it should have perhaps expressed an opinion on the jus cogens character. Powerful declaration. www.icj-cij.org/sites/defaul...

MY REFLECTIONS: The @CIJ_ICJ advisory opinion marks a profound legal affirmation that climate obligations are not aspirational, they are mandatory. Yet, my relief is tempered by concern: will States heed this mandate or treat it as another well-worded academic text with no teeth.

The ICJ decides developed countries have a legally binding obligation to help developing countries to adapt to climate change ('shall'). The duty of cooperation is an obligation of conduct and can be violated. go.icj-cij.org/40whDN1

Fantastic blog by our @cisdl.bsky.social fellow @zunaida-mw.bsky.social: South Africa urges the Court to recognise the differentiated nature of climate obligations, and to respect the integrity of the legal framework developed by the international community. www.ceipak.org/blog/icj-cli...

📢 Ahead of the ICJ’s historic climate change advisory opinion tomorrow, I’ve written 2 blog posts: 1️⃣ On South Africa & the Global South’s role in int’l climate law @ceipakistan 👉 ceipak.org/blog/icj-clima… 2️⃣ A global legal overview @TC_Africa �� theconversation.com/historic-clima�a…
