The United Nations General Assembly has adopted a resolution proposed by the South Pacific island nation of Vanuatu to seek an opinion from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on what legal obligations nations are under to protect climate systems and people affected by climate change.
Co-sponsored by 132 countries at the UN, the resolution was adopted on Wednesday by a consensus. The UN is now empowered to seek the ICJ’s opinion on what countries’ legal obligations are to protect current and future generations from climate change.
The court’s opinion will be non-binding but could help in future climate negotiations and lawsuits.

Vanuatu 🥺🇻🇺🫂
What is a Vanuatu
How much money is it worth
What? another country, how many countries are there.
Climate for crack deal
Methane for Coccain
Interesting effort
Beer for bonds deal 🤝
Atmosphere for fear deal
Money for free program
Bringing money for free to poorer nations deal
So they stay poor deal
Anything for cash
Kill 4 cash
Blow the world to smithereens for money program
If ypu build ypur country on the beach and a wave washes it away I’ll pay for it
How much is a tsunami worth these days
I’m sure I can afford a few
Fill a sub with nuclear weapons
Swim it near a fault and boom
Easy peasy japan underseasy
They would never…..but I would
Houses on poles
Who said india could have a wash on boxing day that’s a sacrament to Jesus Christ
Who?
Really
And how many more nuclear weapons have they got
None! Good, keep it that way
One of the useless organizations in the world
Can believe they using tax payers money for this Hoax called climate change.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Gutierrez Jawohl Mein Fuhrer😮
I wouldn’t cash the check yet😢
It’s not legally binding though.
What is a non-binding agreement??? 🤔
It means it’s optional 😉
It means it’s useless and just a desperate attempt at remaining relevant, waste of money.
So, there’s no agreement at all? Well, there’s time I’ll never get back. Don’t I feel silly.😖💬
UN messing with nature is their biggest mistakes. In the last pandemic, the inadequency of WHO actually make matters worst. Countries have to fight for vaccines. WHO fake claims of MRNA vaccine with high efficacy against Covid turn out to be fake. WHO fake claims of MRNA vaccine has no deadly side effects turn out wrong. WHO fake claims about not wearing mask earlier cost human lives. In the end, Trump was led around like a fool by Fauci until he turn it around and let the virus run its course which finally save the day as natural immunization becomes worldwide. Yet again, this very organization wants to cause another blunder. I say, let nature run its course. It will right itself.
And this is why UN needs to get wiped out.
Sounds like take money from the west and give it to the developing countries.
The same countries who don’t care about climate change …
What could possibly go wrong 😂😂
China realised more CO2 into the atmosphere. In just 8 years.
Then the British did during the entire Industrial Revolution!!
China, India and America are by far the biggest contributors to environmental damage.
So they should change. Before expanding the rest of the world to change 😉
If you ever feel useless..
Know that there is UN.
When countries like US and Israel don’t care about what international court of Justice says, why would anyone else.
So many people protest but still buy the newest cell phones, clothes and splurge. It is time for them to really make a stand, start a real revolution and fight for those making cents an hour just to feed their families. So I wrote a song to help people WAKE UP, we can all do something to make the change but are not. I used to drive my Corvette 4 to 5 days a week, now I only drive it 1 day a week, If I can cut my emissions by 75% so can others, that would alone make a BIG CHANGE immediately. Who’s with me?
I want enough money to feed the poor people of the world and genuine people to work with me to make sure funds are distributed and then Ile come collect my Oscar on everything if not who cares the world will end within my life time
As the roar of a lion so is the wrath of a king,
whoever angers him endangers his life.
Pakistan 🇵🇰 is one of the most affected countries of the climate change. Our rulers are thieves. I request the international community to please not give the compensation of the climate dame in Pakistan to our rulers but directly to the masses of Pakistan!
disastrous development
Very much Happy
My Mother Nature
Vanuatu has an annual sea-level rise averaging 3mm a year, probably since the end of the ice age. That’s the same as everywhere else as measured by tide gauges, so stand on a beach ⛱️ for a century and your ankles might get wet. The actual sea-level anomaly for Vanuatu has been on a declining trend since 2012. In fact the sea level change in a single year (60mm up and down) is 20 to 30 times greater than the trend. It’s typhoons that they need to worry about, and fortunately, they’ve been decreasing for over 7 decades (thanks global warming 👍). The truth is Atolls in the Pacific nations, as well as the Maldives archipelago in the Indian Ocean, have risen up to 8% in size. But the truth isn’t scary or exciting…and there’s no money in it.
Cope

Support Russia and Putin ❤️
Better learn to swim
