The top United Nations court announced on Friday that public hearings will open on 2 December in a landmark case seeking a non-binding advisory opinion on &#8220;the obligations of States in respect of climate change.&#8221; The UN General Assembly sent the case to the International Court of Justice last year. The court said it had received written comments from 62 nations and organisations including the EU, UK, US and Brazil in regard to the case.<\/p>\n<p>The UN court&#8217;s panel of 15 judges from around the world will seek to answer two questions: what are countries obliged to do under international law to protect the climate and environment from human-caused greenhouse gas emissions; and what are the legal consequences for governments where their acts of lack of action have significantly harmed the climate and environment? The second question makes particular reference to &#8220;small island developing States&#8221; likely to be hardest hit by climate change and to members of &#8220;the present and future generations affected by the adverse effects of climate change.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The case at the world court also follows a number of rulings by other judges and tribunals around the world calling on governments to do more to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Itlos ruling came a month after Europe&#8217;s highest human rights court said that countries must better protect their people from the consequences of climate change. This landmark judgment could have implications across the continent.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/08\/19\/top-un-court-sets-date-for-landmark-hearings-on-countries-climate-obligations\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<p><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/6-568\/\">Countries&#8217; climate obligations could be legally defined at top UN court in December<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[15760,575,402],"class_list":["post-133146","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-climate-obligations","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-un"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133146","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133146"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133146\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133146"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133146"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133146"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
