The world’s top court has begun hearing evidence in a significant case that may clarify the legal responsibilities of governments in relation to climate change.
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague will hear testimony from nearly 100 countries including Vanuatu, the Pacific island nation that initiated the effort to get a legal opinion.
The hearing will attempt to answer key questions as to what countries should do to fight climate change and, critically, what should they do to repair damages linked to rising temperatures.
While the outcome is not legally binding, it could give extra weight to climate change lawsuits all over the world.
