Human rights do not stop at borders, and neither should climate justice. The #ClimateICJAO can set a global standard: states must act, and they must be held accountable when they donโ€™t. No one should be uprooted by greed and neglect.

Climate change is destroying homes, livelihoods, & entire ways of life. These are not just environmental losses: they are violations of fundamental human rights.

The #ClimateICJAO could give these rights the legal protection they deserve and demand justice from polluters.
