A Small But Important Step - A Bird’s-Eye View of the ITLOS Advisory Opinion on Climate Change and International Law

A Small But Important Step - A Bird’s-Eye View of the ITLOS Advisory Opinion on Climate Change and International Law Rocha, Armando Author aut Text xx# 2024 Verfassungsblog 2024-05-27 eng While no advisory opinion can solve the climate crisis, the ITLOS decision does provide an important push for action, both globally and at the national level. It cleared the way for the ICJ’s forthcoming opinion on climate change, demonstrating how a clear and solid line of arguments can be developed. Although the ICJ may decide differently due to variations in the questions posed and treaties interpreted, it is unlikely to diverge significantly from the ITLOS narrative or reject its findings on related topics.
