ONU adota resolução em apoio à decisão climática da CIJ

Uma ampla maioria dos membros das Nações Unidas votou na quarta-feira para endossar uma parecer consultivo histórico da Corte Internacional de Justiça sobre as responsabilidades em relação às mudanças climáticas. A resolução sinaliza um vasto apoio político para responsabilizar os países que falham em enfrentar o aquecimento global. Mais de 140 nações apoiaram a medida, enquanto oito votaram contra.

A votação ocorreu após uma campanha que começou há seis anos, quando estudantes de direito da Universidade do Pacífico Sul instaram o governo de Vanuatu a buscar a orientação da corte. Em 2025, a CIJ decidiu, por unanimidade, que as nações têm o dever legal de proteger o planeta e que os países prejudicados podem buscar reparações por danos climáticos. O parecer não vinculativo descreveu a inação como um ato ilícito.
