The ICJ Advisory Opinion on Climate Change
Overview & Synopsis
The ICJ advisory opinion on climate obligations marks a milestone in international climate law. It reflects a shift toward a more coherent order that limits state discretion in favor of global public interests. The opinion construes climate law as a systematic framework that strengthens the shared value of long-term, science-based climate protection through multilateral cooperation. Yet it remains unclear whether it can fulfill its promise by providing workable paths for redistribution, state liability, and compensation. The contributions explore this normative shift and the tensions that persist.
