"This is not a Vanuatu or Pacific Initiative. It is an urgent call to action. The right to the environment is now recognized as a universal right by the UN Human Rights Council & by UNGA resolution A/Res/76/300 which recognizes the right to clean,healthy&sustainable environment as a Human Right"

Congratulations to the Vanuatu Government, its legal advisers Blue Ocean Law and the Pacific students Pacific Islands Students Fighting Climate Change who have driven this forward. It is an honour working with you all on this ground-breaking initiative. ๐ #ICJAO4Climate


An idea we hatched in a classroom in Vanuatu 4 years ago is now a reality. We are ecstatic the world has listened to Pacific youth and chosen to take action on climate change. We celebrate the UN approving an #ICJAO4Climate. Now the real work begins ๐โ pisfcc.org/news/icjao-resโฆ

It has been our firmโs immense privilege to serve as Vanuatu UNโs legal team in their campaign to seek an advisory opinion on #climatechange from the International Court of Justice. Today is a day to celebrate. blueoceanlaw.com/blog/blue-oceaโฆ
