‘This initiative of youth to take the issue of climate protection to the International Court of Justice is of vital importance to the survival of humanity and the planet. These young people realise that current international climate agreements and national commitments are constrained by political considerations, competition and the tragedy of the global commons. As a result, the agreements and commitments are woefully inadequate to prevent catastrophic climate change. What is needed is the application of customary international law which protects the environment and the rights of future generations, and which transcends national, competitive interests. The International Court of Justice, the world’s supreme judicial organ, is the correct body to determine and enact such law. And young people, whose rights are being trampled by climate change, are the right constituency to bring this case to the Court. We should offer them all the support we can.’
