Tòa án hàng đầu thế giới tuyên bố rằng việc không hành động về biến đổi khí hậu là vi phạm pháp luật quốc tế - Các quốc gia đối mặt với hậu quả pháp lý và tài chính

In a historic ruling, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has declared that all countries are legally obligated under international law to address climate change and limit greenhouse gas emissions. The court stated that failure to act on climate change could violate international law and that countries—especially major polluters—may be held financially liable for damages caused to vulnerable nations. This landmark opinion affirms the right to a healthy environment as a human right and paves the way for potential climate reparations. The ruling, though advisory, is expected to influence global climate policy and increase accountability for governments worldwide. The case was initiated by the Pacific island nation of Vanuatu, highlighting the urgent and existential threat climate change poses to low-lying and developing countries.
