All rise! How the International Court of Justice ruling on climate change can deliver better health and save lives around the world

Monday 5 October 2026 1:00 PM – 1:45 PM Ballroom 3

About this session

This event will bring together the combined forces that are reshaping climate action – scientists, legal professionals and community leaders – with the Pacific as its centre. Attendees will hear from the people behind the ICJ story and what it means for our future. The event will feature clips from All Rise! – a powerful new film documenting the ICJ success story and The Witness Stand. It will focus on the Pre-COP priorities of keeping 1.5ºC within reach and amplifying Pacific leadership and voices to drive action.
