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.

And here it is: the ICJ Advisory Opinion on Obligations of States in respect of Climate Change (plus a Separate Opinion and Declaration).

It's illustrative, you see.

I remember certain #GCF board members warning of this exact issue – twelve years ago. Good to see it’s being addressed.

Big thanks to @panosvasileiadis.bsky.social and @meibauir.bsky.social for organising!

Renewable energy reached 44% of Poland's electricity production in June

Big milestone in Poland, where renewables overtake coal

A workshop? A conference? Why not both?

Smashing discussions at #EWIS2025 in sunny Kraków.

China's astounding ability to build and deploy renewables, batteries, and EVs is perhaps the brightest spark in the global fight against climate change.

But @yixiansun.bsky.social and I ask what would it really take for China to lead www.globalpolicyjournal.com/blog/02/07/2...

🎉 Congratulations, #HSClassOf2025!

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of celebrating this year's graduates at the Berliner Philharmonie. We were happy and proud to see many of our incredible students.

We wish you all the success for your future and look forward to seeing the impact you will make! 🌍🎓

Thrilled that our piece 'Hollow Multilateralism' is out in the latest issue of @iajournal.bsky.social! Co-authored with @danielleflonk.bsky.social, we show how autocracies use liberal language to hollow out norms in internet governance and sideline critical non-state actors.

Indeed. The wording matches that of a #BASIC submission from the agenda fight at #COP29 (unfccc.int/sites/defaul...).
Now submitted by Bolivia for #LMDC – so, importantly, without Brazil (h/t @oleadolphsen.bsky.social).

Many interventions at #SB62 seem to target the EU #CBAM in particular.

Looks like a cautious sub-tweet (sub-post?) of Ribera against von der Leyen and the EPP trying to bury the Green Claims Directive:

Analysis: Selling CBAM – Diplomacy for the European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism | Ariadne The analysis addresses the question of how the EU’s key institutions understood their diplomatic role with regard to the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. Which EU institutions communicated with thi...

The EU’s outreach regarding #CBAM has been a point of criticism. The fallout can now be seen not just in bilateral relations and the #WTO, but in the #UNFCCC as well.

See also our @ariadneprojekt.bsky.social paper on how CBAM diplomacy was set up internally.

The EU strongly rejected this today at talks on Just Transition:

Happy to discuss concerns in non-confrontational manner, but this should not crowd out other issues. The EU never agreed to the framing as unilateral measures in the draft text. They are domestic/cross-border policies.

(2/3)

At the #SB62 #Juneclimatemeetings, “unilateral trade measures” – code for the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism ( #CBAM ) – have become a major point of contention.

(1/3)

At #SB62 negotiations have finally started after a prolonged agenda fight. This morning I’m in UAE Dialogue discussions—ie how the outcome of the first global stocktake of the Paris Agreement gets taken forward—and will share anything interesting on this 🧵

One more week to apply.

Opening plenary of the Subsidiary Bodies

#SB62 just adopted the agenda after two days of deliberation. Disagreement over the inclusion of items on #climatefinance and trade measures.

Pushback following the EU’s lacklustre communication around #CBAM has seeped into #UNFCCC negotiations.

#Juneclimatemeetings

Sometimes it’s the other way around.

A colleague from another field once mused: “If the COP is the big show, then they’ll have everything agreed beforehand.”

Well, not quite.

A view of plenary, as it is slowly filling up with delegates. The backdrop of the dais is a mosaic of blue.

The World Conference Center in Bonn is slowly filling up with delegates for the opening of the 2025 #JuneClimateMeetings

Delegates are hoping for a swift adoption of the negotiations agenda while some participants are getting a head start discussing #adaptation indicators
