UN General Assembly backs world court climate ruling, US among nations opposing
The United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday adopted a resolution reinforcing countries’ obligations to combat climate change, though the text was weakened under pressure from major greenhouse gas emitters. The move follows an advisory opinion by the International Court of Justice last year calling failure to meet climate commitments “unlawful” and raising the prospect of reparations.
