In 2022, the “Commission of Small Island States on Climate Change” asked the International Tribunal of the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) for an Advisory Opinion on issues of climate change mitigation and the protection of the environment. The proceedings illustrate the so-called climate change litigation, which means that international obligations to prevent climate change are enforced in international courts and tribunals. ITLOS will announce its opinion on 21st May.
