Phasing out fossil fuels is indispensable to meaningful climate action. Yet, significant legal barriers persist. Among the most formidable is the system of international investment law, particularly the mechanism of investor–state dispute settlement. One way to counter this type of legally entrenched climate obstruction is for States to clarify that their right to climate action is a new peremptory norm of international law, as per Article 64 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties.
