A group of Pacific students want their leaders to take climate crisis concerns to the International Court of Justice

They are seeking an Advisory Opinion from the court on human rights for future generations to broadly inform environment laws in order to prevent further climate harm.

The head of Pacific Islands Students Fighting Climate Change Solomon Yeo told Jenny Meyer the students see their environment ravaged on a daily basis, echoing evidence from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report.
