I need to properly sort my thoughts out as it’s been a long two weeks, but I think framing these talks as a failure overlooks the fact that high ambition states refused to accept a waste management treaty

where we go from here is unclear, but I think there remains grounds for optimism
Plastic pollution treaty stalled as Geneva talks end without deal
Diplomats voiced disappointment and even rage that the 10-day talks produced no deal.

66/ 🎆 What a clear ruling today! What a victory for #ClimateJustice!
On fossil fuels, right to a healthy environment, historic responsibility, compensation, duties of States withdrawing from Paris: the Court's affirmation of legal principles will enable a new era of accountability.

52/🚨The Court then delivers a powerful statement: failure of a state to take appropriate action to regulate fossil fuel consumption, the granting of fossil fuel licences, fossil fuel subsidies may constitute an internationally wrongful act which is attributable to that state

🌍 BREAKING: Climate impunity ends today - by order of the world’s highest court.

The International Court of Justice has spoken:
✅ States are legally obliged to act
✅ Inaction = human rights violation
✅ Polluters must be held accountable

This is a legal revolution for our planet.

27/ 🌡️With regard to the temperature threshold relevant for today's ruling, the Court affirms, building on science and COP decisions, that the 1.5c temperature target must be understood as the internationally agreed objective of climate policies!

10/ 🔥Judge Iwasawa Yuji quotes straight from the IPCC: "Warming of 1.5°C is not considered 'safe' for most nations, communities, ecosystems and sectors, and poses significant risks to natural and human systems." - this is a very strong basis for the Court's legal conclusions!

9/ 🧑‍🔬Science: the Court notes that the States participating in the process recognized the @ipcc.bsky.social as the best available science. Judge Iwasawa Yuji goes on summarizing key findings of the IPCC latest report.

34/ States must define a mitigation strategy based on human rights, ensuring appropriate measures with real possibility of being enforced (principle of effectiveness), considering the sectors where the main GHG emissions are generated for each sector, incl. regulating companies.

33/ 🎯in defining their targets, States must consider best available science, common but differentiated responsibility (cumulative emissions, capacity, national circumstances), progressiveness, equality, prevention, precaution.
This echoes UN climate agreements obligations.
