The ICJ has ruled: States’ obligations to close the Ambition Gap

“The ICJ has ruled: States’ obligations to close the Ambition Gap”

At the first COP since the International Court of Justice has ruled on States’ obligations to act on climate change and 10 years since the Paris Agreement, we will reflect on the key steps which States must now take. The Court has clarified: 1.5 degrees is the legal and moral redline and the highest possible ambition must be displayed in taking urgent action. Together Dr Amiera Sawas (FFNPT), Belyndar Rikimani (PISFCC), Zachary Phillips (AOSIS), and Konrad Raeschke-Kessler (German Federal Ministry for the Environment) we explore how the ICJAO can be made actionable by States in these negotiations and going forward.
