Episode 57 - International Obligations with Respect to Climate Change
Update: 2025-09-25
Description
In the past year, three international courts and tribunals—the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS), and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR)—have issued advisory opinions on the obligations of countries with respect to climate change. In the context of the ongoing UN General Assembly in NYC, this episode features a conversation between Catherine Amirfar and Payam Akhavan, who have served as counsel to multiple countries in those proceedings, to discuss the opinions, their impact, and next steps, especially for climate vulnerable countries.
