Live from the Resilience Hub Pavilion at COP27
In a matter of weeks, the United Nations General Assembly is expected to make a landmark decision that could transform the status of climate change under international law.
The government of Vanuatu has led the movement behind a resolution to formally request an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on legal aspects of climate change.
If the resolution passes, it could set a precedent for legal action against polluters and have far-reaching implications for climate change litigation and international disputes on climate harm.
This high-level dialogue will examine the implications of an ICJ advisory opinion for small-island states and their struggle to achieve climate justice.
