After Paris, the IPCC justified the expansion of the fossil-fuel system by implicitly promising that we could "overshoot” 1.5C yet ultimately meet the target anyway. What does this mean? Read my deep dive into Andreas Malm & @wimcarton.bsky.social's *Overshoot* lareviewofbooks.org/article/the-...

1/5. ⏰ SIGN UP!: “What does the International Court of Justice (ICJ) decision mean for #ClimateJustice? ⚖️: Leveraging the ICJ advisory opinion (#ICJAO) on #ClimateChange into future outcomes”. 🥳 🗓️August 14th ⏰East Call, 8am GMT: zoom.us/webinar/regi... ⏰West Call, 1pm GMT: zoom.us/webinar/regi...

The #ICJ delivered a historic Advisory Opinion on #ClimateChange that cuts through decades of delay, denial, & legal ambiguity. It did so with moral & legal clarity that leaves no doubt: states must act to prevent climate harm or be held legally responsible. Read our Q&A: cri.org/cri-qa-on-th...

The world's highest court declared greenhouse gas emissions a human rights violation. A week later, the EPA said it plans to rescind the government's legal assertion that GHGs endanger the public. America's most catastrophic form of exceptionalism. A gift link: www.theatlantic.com/science/arch...

Huge climate win from the ICJ that sharply rebuked Canada which argued it was not bound by international law to seriously fight climate change. Going forward “Canada's pursuit of mega fossil fuel expansion projects stands in stark defiance of the ICJ." www.nationalobserver.com/2025/07/23/n...

The International Court of Justice climate judgement was – in many ways – better than expected. Here are 11 takeaways about what ICJ judgement and what it means for the protection of the climate:

🚨BREAKING🚨 ICJ ruling that a healthy environment is a human right could be a real turning point in setting out governments’ legal responsibility to tackle #climate crisis 👇

"“They wanted us all to run,” says Noah Bullock, director of the Central American human rights organization Cristosal. “They created conditions where there were really no better options. Hundreds of people left the country in the last month.”"

NEW: Our study in @theguardian.com shows that the new $1T Pentagon budget in Trump’s bill— paid for by cuts to education, food stamps, disaster management, etc—will raise its carbon emissions higher than the entire country of Ethiopia, and cause 47B in damages. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Tonya Mosely's interview with ProPublica's Abrahm Lustgarten on Fresh Air is more than worth the time, esp near the end, on the complex & non-obvious reasons climate change & our failure to address it/adapt will lead people to move. www.npr.org/2025/07/16/n...

Climate-related loss and damage is a significant human rights issue and should be a part of the Universal Periodic Review process. I was privileged to work with amazing colleagues from the Human Rights and Climate Change Working Group to develop this guide for how to make that happen!

Major missed opportunity for the law to adapt meaningfully to the realities of climate impacts But as @lizhicks.bsky.social points out, "Much like a rising tide breaking against a seawall, the future impact of climate change on things that law already protects is too extreme for the law to resist."

A good overview of some the research on extreme events and the role climate change is playing. Much more research is needed to understand the direct effects of these climate shocks, as well as the ways education can mitigate future disasters abcnews.go.com/amp/US/wireS...

This is Mertarvik, Alaska, population 300. It’s a new town. Its residents, the vast majority of whom are Yup’ik, began moving in around 2019. The move was by necessity: The nearby village where many residents previously lived, Newtok, is sinking, its riverbanks eroding. THREAD 🧵

In 2018, 25 young people with the support of NGO Dejusticia took the Colombian government to court arguing that their right to a healthy environment was under threat from deforestation. They won, in an judgment that went further than they could have hoped. But did the court ruling change anything?

BREAKING: New report from IRAP & Las Americas highlights the dangers of the Trump admin's anti-immigrant and anti-climate policies. The majority of interviewees identified environmental disasters as contributing factors in their decision to flee.
