The Pacific is facing an existential threat and is at the forefront of the devastating consequences of climate change, risking to entirely disappear should global warming go beyond 1.5 degrees Celsius. But a new, historic court ruling could prove vital in protecting people and the planet.
The student initiative Pacific Islands Students Fighting Climate Change (PISFCC), with support from the World’s Youth Fighting for Climate Justice (WY4CJ) is taking this fight to the world’s highest court: the International Court of Justice (the UN’s highest legal instrument), who have yet to take a stance on the issue of climate change.
The International Court of Justice has now invited all countries to make submissions on this historic legal process. The PISFCC’s aim is to urge countries to advance the most progressive arguments they can, and to include young peoples’ voices to protect their futures. But time is dwindling to get support from governments around the world.
Petrostates do not want this to happen, which is why it is so important for youths to take action to fight for their futures and for the EU to submit a progressive case in support of this “Advisory Opinion”.
Sign our petition NOW to tell the EU to hold big polluters accountable and protect all current and future generations!
