With Vanuatu, the country that contains 83 islands in combined size equivalent to Connecticut, decision is Monumel. Authorities have been a responsibility of less than 0.0004 obligation of a global gas discharge between 1962 and 2022, but they encounter different impacts climate change.

In addition to its middle temperature, the vanuatu sees the hardest tropical and powerful storms. In 2023, three storms were attacked in paragraphs 4 or more, have an impact on about 200,000 resident and cost more than $ 400 million in economic damage. The hot sea of Pacific increased 4-6 centimeters between 1992-2020, especially dangerous in the low world and are at risk of erosion. All of this, along with increasing temperatures and drought times, has caused all communities to the government, and the results are expected to grow very difficult.

“Today, smaller nations in the world have made history,” said Vishad Director, the Pacific Island Techni Director fighting against climate change, according to a statement. “The ICJ’s decision provides a country where governments cannot be able to appeal to their legal obligations. It proves that the incident is proper protection, retaliation and future.

While advisory opinion is not legally unique, environmental organizations and professionals hope the legal example of thousands of weather changes worldwide try pollution.

“This idea can serve as a countries of a country that thinks how to prioritize justice and prioritize their citizens while working with the official teams who have worked support statements in court asking for the vision.

The United States does not accept the power of the law of justice, but he submitted a written statement in March 2024 and joined the United Nations Framework in the climate and protection.

The court deals with this concern and dismissed the law of law enforcement agreements, as a parisa contract, protect themselves defilers. In fact, the court emphasized that the Paris covenant set strong bonds of reduction and conform to all groups and need to respond to the loss and damage to climate change.

The court called the United States, claimed that the nations were poorly causing weather, but members of the United Nations must meet “the same obligations under international law.”

The impact of the vision always appears. “It may not have a lot of influence in the United States,” said Maria Antonia Tulu, director of worldwide weathered end of the Socin Change Law in Columbia University.

The Treque said when the decision could comply with the US and the country cases he would not be able to accused of the decision, a real impact can be seen in other countries. For example, the court in Brazil can talk about one of the current weather changes in climate change.

The UN court also identifies that the pollution is open to the vision of advisory, especially when based on a foreign country in the UN workers and the weather. “The countries have an obligation to complete wrong actions,” says Tigulu. “If the country is found in breaking up by providing for company’s oil permits, they may need to restore such permits.”

Developees Vanuatu said the next step is to make a decision back to the UN General Assembly pursuing a full solution to the implementation of the decision. The idea will focus on NU countries meet in November through the following climate change conference, known as Cop30, Brazil.
