Vanuatu announced that it has shared a zero draft of the UNGA Resolution to endorse the ICJ's climate change advisory opinion. We support this resolution and call on others to to do the same, to support the rule of international law and the implementation of State accountability!

🆕 🆕 🆕 NEW: Vanuatu has introduced a draft UN 🇺🇳 General Assembly resolution that builds on the International Court of Justice’s landmark ruling on States' legal duties in the context of climate change. The resolution aims at turning legal clarity into collective #ClimateAction.

A myth busted: the obligations mentioned in the ICJ AO ARE legally binding! As our campaigner Alisha explains, States and major polluters have BINDING legal obligations to take meaningful action to address the climate crisis, protect people, and safeguard the integrity of the climate system.
