About this session

Join a dynamic Pacific-led conversation on what comes next following the landmark ICJ Advisory Opinion on climate change. This 45-minute strategic dialogue will bring together Pacific voices, legal experts, negotiators, youth and civil society to explore how the Opinion can be translated into stronger climate action, negotiations, policy and accountability. Expect practical insights, diverse perspectives and a forward-looking discussion on how the Pacific can turn historic legal recognition into meaningful implementation and climate justice ahead of COP31 and beyond.
