Climate Action Network (CAN) Europe @caneurope.org · 21/05/2026
Last night, the UN welcomed the ICJ rulings - a landmark moment for climate justice. This is a major turning point of climate accountability, and will reinforce States’ legal obligations to prevent further climate harm. @chiaramartinelli.bsky.social reacts:
Last night’s vote was historic - the UN system now also recognises that states have a legal obligation to align climate action with the best available science, in order to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement. This process began with Pacific Island students and frontline communities demanding climate justice and accountability. Their initiative has now shaped a global legal and political moment. 

With all EU Member States (except Czechia), and other European countries (including UK, Switzerland, Norway and Ukraine) supporting the UN resolution - there is now an even stronger mandate on our continent for courts to hold major polluters, and laggard policy makers, to account. Today’s vote reinforces expectations that governments align climate action with science and international law.
