The International Court of Justice in The Hague is set to begin hearings on Monday for what is being hailed as the largest case in its history. The focus of the two-week hearings will be on the legal obligations of countries worldwide in combating climate change and supporting vulnerable nations in mitigating its impact.
The case was initiated following a request from the United Nations General Assembly last year, prompted by concerns raised by small island nations facing the threat of disappearing due to rising sea levels. The aim is to determine the legality of actions that have contributed to climate change and its detrimental effects.
