Youths amplifying Pacific voices at UN meeting to vote YES for climate justice.

Pacific Islands Students Fighting Climate Change (PISFCC) are asking the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to provide an advisory opinion to strengthen human rights, intergenerational equity and climate justice in the Paris Agreement.

Calling on global leaders to vote yes at the UNGA 77 resolution - which would enable requesting an ICJ advisory opinion - the PISFCC sailed on a ‘Vaka’ (a traditional canoe) with First Nations people and climate activists down the New York East River.

“Not only would the ICJ be an illegal circuit breaker for global negotiations, but it would also be a major confidence booster for the work of activists all over the world.”
