 On December 13, 2024, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) concluded the hearings of the advisory proceedings on State obligations in respect of Climate Change. On the last day of the hearings, judges posed four questions to participants to be answered within a one-week timeframe. The Judges enquired about State obligations in relation to fossil fuels; the interpretation of Article 4 of the Paris Agreement; the content of the right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment; and the significance of declarations made by some States on becoming parties to the UN climate treaties. This blog post will provide a brief exploration of the first two questions and issues raised.  CC BY-SA 4.0 Amor-Jürgenssen, Theresa Advisory Opinion Climate Crisis Fossil Fuel ICJ International Climate Law Internationaler Gerichtshof | Den Haag Paris Agreement Internationaler Gerichtshof | Den Haag 342 https://verfassungsblog.de/from-objectives-to-obligations/ Verfassungsblog 2366-7044 Max Steinbeis Verfassungsblog gGmbH 10.59704/69fe34b75c3a40b5 241230 10.59704/69fe34b75c3a40b5 Converted from MARCXML to MODS version 3.7 using MARC21slim2MODS3-7.xsl (Revision 1.140 20200717)
