Asia Pacific‘s leading platform for sustainable development
Opinion / #sea-level rise
An advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice last year left no doubt that states have a legal obligation to prevent significant harm to the climate system, and that a failure to do so carries legal consequences. Now, a new United Nations resolution seeks to put this ruling into practice.
The world has started to recognise that the climate’s fate depends on what happens to the ocean. At COP30, ocean-based solutions attracted significant attention and investment, but much more must be done to establish the governance structures required for safeguarding this critical planetary system.
By excluding outside powers, Pacific leaders face a test of unity as they grapple with climate change, security rifts and development needs.
The legal future of sinking islands remains uncertain, and their way of life, identity, and culture hangs in the balance.
