On 23 July 2025, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) delivered its long-awaited advisory opinion on climate change. The opinion clarifies States’ international obligations in respect of climate change and touches upon many different aspects: content of NDCs, long-term temperature objective under the Paris Agreement, obligations relating to fossil fuel exploration/exploitation, right to a healthy environment, obligations in respect to nature, etc.
With COP30 just around the corner, it is essential that civil society organisations understand the significance and the legal consequences stemming from the ICJ advisory opinion (ICJAO) and how it can be used to strengthen our advocacy messages. The advisory opinion offers additional tools to influence the preparation and negotiations of the next round of climate talks in Belém and other ongoing debates at national and regional level (e.g., EU – 2040 climate target debate and future climate architecture).
In this webinar organised by Climate Action Network (CAN) Europe, WWF, World’s Youth for Climate Justice (WYCJ), and Global Focus in collaboration with Germanwatch e.V., experts will unpack the ICJAO together. The list of speakers includes Shirley Matheson (WWF), Francesca Mascha Klein (Germanwatch), Henrieke Bünger (WYCJ), Sofia Ghezzi (WWF), Nicole Ann Ponce (WYCJ), Sigrid Bjerre Andersen (Global Focus), and Romain Didi (CAN Europe).
