In early July 2025, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights delivered a landmark advisory opinion finding that “States have an obligation . . . to counter the human causes of climate change and to protect people under their jurisdiction from climate impacts, in particular those who are most vulnerable.” Later in July, the International Court of Justice similarly found that States can be sued for failing to act on the “urgent and existential threat” of climate change. This panel will examine the impact that these and other opinions will have on international human rights law in the Americas and beyond.
