Because the Courts Said So! How States' Legal Obligations Should Drive Climate Change

Time: November 11, 2025. 18:30-20:00.

Location: Blue Zone, Side Event Room 6

Recent groundbreaking advisory opinions from international courts have affirmed that States have binding obligations under international law to act on climate change. This panel will unpack these opinions, and their implications for the UNFCCC process, climate action, and national climate obligations. 
 
This expert panel will bring together voices from leading experts across law, policy, and civil society to explore how these legal interpretations can drive climate action, translate it into domestic accountability, and shape the coming era of implementation and accountability.

Walk-in with Blue Zone pass.
