Historic World Court Ruling on Climate Change and State Obligations

A group of Pacific Island students, led by Cynthia Houniuhi, initiated the largest climate case in history by petitioning the International Court of Justice for an advisory opinion on states' legal obligations to combat climate change, mobilizing global support and raising awareness about climate justice, especially for vulnerable communities. The case highlights the role of youth activism and international law in addressing climate threats, with the ICJ's upcoming opinion expected to influence future legal and diplomatic actions.
