In a landmark address Tuesday, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) outlined "the urgent and existential threat posed by climate change.”

The historic opinion handed down could set a benchmark for legal obligations of nations to act against the climate crisis.

“Greenhouse gas emissions are unequivocally caused by human activities which are not territorially limited," ICJ President Yuji Iwasawa said.

The 15-judge panel determined nations could be in violation of international law if they don’t enact measures to mitigate climate change, adding that states impacted by the crisis could be entitled to reparations.
