UN experts support resolution confirming member states’ obligations to tackle climate change

UN experts urged member states on Thursday to support the General Assembly (UNGA) resolution endorsing the  advisory opinion issued by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) last year, which mandates that states comply with their legal obligations to mitigate climate change. The statement comes amid concerns over attempts to obstruct discussion of the proposal.

The experts stressed the urgent need to support the UNGA draft resolution, noting that studies indicate that the 1.5°C limit on global temperature rise could be exceeded by 2029. The risk is compounded by recurrent climate-related disasters, including cyclones, hurricanes, and floods, affecting multiple regions worldwide. The experts stressed that the resolution is grounded in the ICJ advisory opinion, which itself is based on internationally binding sources of law aimed at preventing further climate harm and impacts of climate change on societies and human lives.

Furthermore, they highlighted that the draft resolution would provide a collaborative approach for states to fulfil their obligations in alignment with the Paris Agreement, specifically limiting global warming to well below 1.5°C, peaking greenhouse gas emissions, enhancing climate change adaptation, and mobilizing climate finance. They added that the resolution would complement the Paris Agreement Loss and Damage Fund, which is a specialized fund established to assist vulnerable developing nations in covering the costs of destruction caused by climate-related disasters.

However, the experts expressed concerns about attempts to block the resolution’s adoption, emphasizing that countries should see it as an opportunity for international cooperation to address the climate crisis. Finally, they concluded that the UNGA resolution would pave the way for multilateral action to protect the right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment, thereby ensuring peace and the enjoyment of all human rights for current and future generations.

In other words, they want to create a pathway for even more UN control over nations. Do the citizens of those sovereign nations agree with this? When do the people associated with the UN make their own lives carbon neutral? Perhaps we can make the UN building carbon neutral by shutting the power off?
