Reacción a "The International Court of Justice will issue its advisory opinion today on countries' obligations to address the effects of climate change"

The advisory opinion that the ICJ is expected to release today is eagerly awaited, and rightly so. It must address essential questions for the fight against climate change, primarily what legal obligations states have in this area, what the consequences are if they fail to meet their obligations, and what remedies may be available to the most affected states. Although not directly binding, its content may at least have moral force and serve as support for claims brought before other courts.
