Yesterday, the world lost Nuremberg Prosecutor Ben Ferencz. As we mourn our role model, mentor, partner and friend, we will honor his legacy by heeding his call to “never give up” in the fight for a more just and peaceful world by strengthening the international rule of law.

At the conclusion of COSIS pleadings, a reminder of the opening words of Prof. Akhavan, COSIS Lead Counsel: “Either a unified humankind does what is necessary now to address climate change, or it will be forced to do so after unimaginable catastrophes leave no other choice”

It's enraging + hurtful considering that the calls of Indigenous Peoples from Australia and young people for greater ambition at COPs and beyond are ignored. 🌡️1.5 to stay alive! If we are looking to the Paris Agreement - you must considers crucial Art2(2)! And do all it takes!

Present @ International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea week 2 on behalf of World's Youth for Climate Justice for the Advisory Opinion on climate change. Hearing the state submissions reiterates the importance of staying clear from all forms of (solar) #GeoEngineering. Any promise of an easy techno fix is a farce. Frank Biermann @frankbiermann.bsky.social is right!

This is truly an historic decision by #ITLOS for the protection of the ocean and planet from GHG #pollution. Stringent due diligence obligations and meeting Paris requirements not enough for UNCLOS and the marine environment. #cosis
