The ICJ’s Advisory Opinion is a significant development for States and for international law. The Court’s systemic approach in interpreting obligations to protect the climate has been analysed in webinars, podcasts and blogs. While many commentators continue to add valuable words, this blogpost communicates through pictures. A collaboration between a lawyer and two designers, our data story considers the Court’s reasoning and links its consequences to interrelated information. Datasets describe attributes of each country by referring to their ratification of selected treaties, application of customary international law, cumulative greenhouse gas emissions, income levels, and other relevant material. Viewers can use and adapt the images in the animated slideshow to suit their needs, including research, teaching and public engagement.
