A landmark decision by the International Court of Justice has cleared the way for countries to sue one another over climate change. This ruling, issued by the global court in The Hague, allows states to hold other nations legally accountable for their historical contributions to greenhouse gas emissions. While the decision is non-binding, it has been heralded as a potential turning point in international climate policy. Legal experts warn, however, that the court acknowledged the difficulty in precisely attributing climate impacts to specific countries. The ruling has been celebrated as a major win for vulnerable nations that have been frustrated by the lack of global climate agreement and progress. These nations, which are often the most affected by climate change, are now empowered to pursue legal recourse against those they believe have contributed most to the crisis. The decision may also set a precedent for future climate-related litigation, potentially reshaping the way countries approach environmental responsibility on the global stage.
