On 23 July 2025, the International Court of Justice delivered its advisory opinion on obligations of States in respect of climate change, a probable legal milestone in the planetary struggle for the protection of the environment. However, in a context of compounding polycrisis where a diversity of ecological issues \u2013 with climate change at the forefront \u2013 collide with increasing political polarisation and socioeconomic difficulties, the veritable reach this opinion will have remains to be seen.<\/p>\n

By means of interventions from speakers who have been directly involved in the case or in the campaign for its request, this roundtable addresses three dimensions of the opinion. First, how it came to be. Second, what it says. Third, what it might entail. These three lines of inquiry are dealt with from a critical perspective, blending both legal and political considerations.<\/p>\n
