The Climate Cast - The ICJ’s Climate Change Advisory Opinion: a closer look at domestic impacts for states and corporates

In our latest episode of the Climate Cast, Ginny Bicciolo is joined by Jake White from WWF-UK and Margherita Cornaglia from Landmark Chambers to discuss the International Court of Justice (ICJ)’s advisory opinion on states’ obligations in respect of climate change. They explore WWF’s submissions and the ICJ’s findings regarding obligations on biodiversity, what the opinion means for corporate as well as state accountability, and how it may influence future strategic litigation against private and state actors at the domestic level. As climate litigation continues to evolve rapidly across jurisdictions, this episode offers practical insights into how the ICJ opinion is expected to shape that landscape. (*)
