The United Nations’ adoption of a resolution calling for an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on the obligations of States on climate change, is a victory for the Pacific, and for a group of former law students, who first mooted the action four years ago.
The campaign that led to the resolution was first conceived in a USP law classroom, with the students involved organising to form Pacific Islands Students Fighting Climate Change (PISFCC) and building strong government and civil society coalitions . . .
