Judges at the international court of justice are to clarify what countries are legally required to do to fight the climate crisis
Ireland's former president Mary Robinson says the decision in 'the world's biggest climate case' could provide the foundation on which to 'hold polluters to account'.
Elders chair Mary Robinson said: "This is the world's biggest climate case. The decision by the world's highest court can provide a robust foundation to hold polluters to account." "By seeking the clarification from the world's highest court, we're looking for guidance from the court that would be transformational in guiding ambition, accountability and fairness in the global climate response mechanism. We demand a strong Advisory Opinion that will uphold climate justice and human rights."
