UN experts urge nations to support Vanuatu’s climate resolution to enforce legal duties against climate change, warning of 1.5°C breach by 2029.
UN experts are urging nations to back a Vanuatu-led resolution at the UN General Assembly to operationalize an International Court of Justice advisory opinion on states’ legal duties to combat climate change.
They warn that global temperatures may exceed the 1.5°C limit by 2029, citing worsening climate impacts and stalled progress at COP30.
The experts stress the need for fossil fuel phaseouts, subsidy elimination, climate damage documentation, and reparations, emphasizing that fulfilling these obligations aligns with existing human rights and environmental laws.
Over 80 countries, including Colombia and the Netherlands, are pursuing alternative efforts amid resistance to climate accountability in UN forums.
The resolution is seen as vital to strengthening the Loss and Damage Fund and advancing global cooperation for a sustainable, equitable future.
