About this event

The aim of this side event is to provide an understanding on the need to include a rights-based approach to addressing the climate crisis and the need to utilise international legal mechanisms to clarify and develop international law in this area. It will look at why and how an Advisory Opinion from the International Court of Justice is a well justified avenue to advance this development and complement the UNFCCC negotiations and the broader climate goals at the community, national, regional and international level.
