On 23 July 2025, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) delivered its long-awaited Advisory Opinion on climate change. This historic ruling affirmed that States have binding obligations under international law to prevent climate harm, protect human rights, and safeguard present and future generations. The Court also clarified that failures to meet these obligations may trigger State responsibility and legal consequences.

This opinion marks a turning point for the global climate justice movement. It offers new legal tools for accountability, strengthens advocacy for negotiations and policymaking, and provides renewed momentum for campaigns and mobilization worldwide.

To seize this historic moment, we are convening a strategy session “Historic Opinion, Historic Responses: Post-ICJAO Delivery Strategy Session”, co-organized by WYCJ, CIEL, and PISFCC.
