6/7. 🗣️Zinta Zommers, OCHA's Scientific Lead on #ClimateChange, highlights that while there is a growing need to “fill” the FRLD, funding for the humanitarian response to the climate crisis must also be urgently bolstered.

Suddenly everyone is all "oops all this climate change is having tangible consequences like my house is on fire and I can't get insurance anymore?"

YOUR state legislature can do something about it!

Landmark Ruling Gives Paris Climate Agreement Teeth A rare unanimous ruling from the International Court of Justice creates a pathway to hold all governments, even the climate-denying ones, legally liable for climate risk.

The ruling from the International Court of Justice last week is genuinely a big fucking deal. It makes it a legal obligation for countries to address climate change. Yes, even the ones not signed on to Paris. Yes, even the U.S. More from me & @rishpardikar.bsky.social drilled.media/news/ijc-1

Yes the ICJ Advisory Opinion is exciting, but there’s still also lots to say about the exciting IACtHR Advisory Opinion! Specifically, @sarahdorman.bsky.social, Kelsey Jost-Creegan, and I had some things to say about what it means for corporate accountability:

Opinion | Climate Science Is Now the Law A landmark legal ruling leaves no doubt that continuing fossil fuel production and use, let alone expanding it, violates the law.

📰The #CIJ_ICJ has spoken—fossil fuel production is no longer just bad policy, it’s a violation of international law.

There is, undoubtedly, much to say about the ICJ’s landmark advisory opinion on Obligations of States in respect of Climate Change. In this post, Julian and I begin by unpacking the Court’s treatment of the sources of international law governing climate change and how those sources interact.

“In a landmark advisory opinion on Wednesday, the United Nations' top court said countries could be in violation of international law if they fail to take measures to protect the planet from climate change, and nations harmed by its effects could be entitled to reparations.”

This is a phenomenal livetweet of the #ICJAO for the non-lawyers among us climate and human rights nerds (wonks, etc.)

1/2. “The court notes the aspect of #ClimateChange, including, inter alia, the health and livelihoods of individuals through events such as sea level rise, drought and disasters

1/2. “The court turns to the obligation of states under international #HumanRights law. It knows that the environment is the foundation for human life, upon which the health well being of both present and future generations depend.

This thread is great for those curious about the BIG ICJ Advisory Opinion today on climate change!
