The World Court has handed down a landmark decision finding countries could be required to pay compensation to other nations affected by their climate harms.
It’s the result of a historic case initiated by a group of law students from Pacific Island nations which face risks from rising seas.
In today’s episode, we’ll explain the lead-up to this decision, what the World Court is, and what it might mean for countries around the world.
Hosts: Lucy Tassell and Billi FitzSimons
