A potential legal framework may arise out of a series of climate change hearings at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which are expected to aid the court in shedding light on countries' legal obligations under international law and the consequences for breaching them. While the court's advisory opinion is not binding, it will still carry weight, likely influencing the future course of climate action. What this will mean for the global energy industry, particularly its oil and gas segment, remains to be seen.
Following these hearings, slated to take place December 2-13 in the Hague, Netherlands, the ICJ is expected to come up with its opinion on climate change, offering clarity on international law, which is likely to inform judicial proceedings and be cited in global climate-driven lawsuits.
António Guterres, UN Secretary-General, underlined: "This is the critical decade for climate action. It must happen on our watch. Those that contributed least to the climate crisis are already facing both climate hell and high levels of sea waters. For some countries, climate threats are a death sentence. Indeed, it is the initiative of those countries, joined by so many others — along with the efforts of young people all over the world — that brings us together. Together, you are making history. [...] Advisory opinions of the Court — the principal judicial organ of the United Nations — have tremendous importance and can have a long-standing impact on the international legal order.
"Advisory opinions can provide much-needed clarification on existing international legal obligations. If and when given, such an opinion would assist the General Assembly, the United Nations and Member States to take the bolder and stronger climate action that our world so desperately needs. It could also guide the actions and conduct of States in their relations with each other, as well as towards their own citizens. This is essential."
While this opinion will likely be used by climate activists to push harder against new oil and gas developments, it is also anticipated to be employed by small island states seeking compensation from developed nations for what they describe as historic climate damage. The end of COP29 did not bring the type of climate investments the developing nations hoped to secure.
Guterres continued: "Climate justice is both a moral imperative and a prerequisite for effective global climate action. The climate crisis can only be overcome through cooperation — between peoples, cultures, nations, generations. But festering climate injustice feeds divisions and threatens to paralyse global climate action. For those on the front lines already paying the price for global heating they did nothing to cause, climate justice is both a vital recognition and a tool.
"Recognition that all people on our planet are of equal worth — and a tool to build resilience against spiralling climate impacts. I have presented an Acceleration Agenda to close the emissions gap and massively fast-track climate action by every country and every sector and on every time frame. We have never been better equipped to solve the climate crisis. Let us work together to get the job done. It has been said that there is nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come. Now is the time for climate action and climate justice."
As explained by the UN, the two questions the ICJ is expected to answer are:
1.What are the obligations of States under international law to ensure the protection of the climate system and other parts of the environment from anthropogenic [human caused] emissions of greenhouse gases for States and for present and future generations;
2.What are the legal consequences under these obligations for States where they, by their acts and omissions, have caused significant harm to the climate system and other parts of the environment, with respect to:
a. States, including, in particular, small island developing States, which due to their geographical circumstances and level of development, are injured or specifically affected by, or are particularly vulnerable to, the adverse effects of climate change?
b. Peoples and individuals of the present and future generations affected by the adverse effects of climate change?
Based on data provided by Earth Negotiations Bulletin, a division of the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), the oral proceedings at the International Court of Justice began on December 2 with a passionate plea by Vanuatu, which had lobbied for support of the UN General Assembly (UNGA) resolution requesting the ICJ advisory opinion.
Alongside the Melanesian Spearhead Group, the small island nation highlighted the continued expansion of fossil fuel production and consumption as "a clear breach of climate obligations," while others engaged in technical discussions on what constitutes, in their opinion, applicable law and what, in turn, constricts States’ obligations, impeding the attribution of responsibility to specific countries.
The following day, countries were reportedly in lock-step in denouncing "the grossly insufficient mitigation" of GHG emissions and outlining their expectations for remedial action. Later on, speakers diverged on whether common but differentiated responsibilities (CBDR), intergenerational equity, or the polluter-pays principles fall under customary international law and should inform the Court’s consideration of States’ obligations concerning climate change.
The third day seemingly brought disappointment to those hoping for more ambitious targets in the next round of nationally determined contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement, as the participants heard rebuttals against transitioning away from fossil fuels and attempts to muddy the waters on what constitutes sufficient ambition, according to Earth Negotiations Bulletin's records.
On the fourth day, Island States were on a roll to emphasize the colonial underpinnings of the climate crisis, as several developing countries pointed to the need for debt relief and enhanced access to climate finance. In addition, Solomon Islands urged the Court to address the issue of climate-induced displacement.
The fifth day saw Island States urge the ICJ to safeguard the continuity of statehood and sovereignty over maritime zones amid rising sea levels. While Kenya suggested that vulnerable States unilaterally cancel or restructure their debt when they need to address imminent perils related to climate change, Kuwait spotlighted its work on “environmentally friendly oil products.”
This case is perceived to be the largest one at the court, encompassing 91 written statements with 62 written comments while 97 States and eleven international organizations are due to participate in the hearings, which present an opportunity for countries and organizations to expand on their written statements.
Climate-motivated litigation is already on the rise, giving courts around the world a chance to set new precedents in addressing climate change or keep the status quo. Once the ICJ delivers its opinion, a further spike in lawsuits on climate change grounds is expected.

◈ While the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management 's move to set the stage for the next oil and gas leasing round to be held for offshore acreage in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) with a draft programmatic environmental impact statement (EIS) is seen as a step in the right direction by National Ocean Industries Association (NOIA), it still took the opportunity to urge Congress and the incoming U.S. administration to reevaluate and revise the scaled-back program, which comes with only three lease sales up to 2029.
Erik Milito, NOIA’s President, pointed out: “It’s clearly better to produce our energy from the Gulf of Mexico than for the global market to rely upon foreign sources with higher emissions and weaker environmental performance. Furthermore, we urge Congress and the incoming administration to reassess the limited schedule of only three lease sales in the current offshore program and take steps to restore our leasing program to bolster investment in U.S. projects.
“A more robust schedule would better reflect the Gulf’s indispensable role in our energy landscape and support both energy development and environmental stewardship. NOIA is committed to working with all stakeholders to advocate for policies that uphold the Gulf of Mexico as a key pillar in energy security, economic progress, and total U.S. energy leadership.”
◈ EnergyPathways picked Wood as its lead engineering partner for a large-scale energy storage facility in the UK sector of the Irish Sea, which is anticipated to supply the British market with natural gas and green hydrogen for at least 20 years.
◈ Following multiple calls to up its decommissioning ante, Australia has set its blueprint and joined forces with the UK to enhance offshore oil and gas skill-sets and capabilities in both countries.
◈ QatarEnergy 's CEO sees the EU's set of measures aimed at propelling the region's net zero journey forward as potential pitfalls that may cause European companies to seek new business playgrounds to sidestep the new penalties related to decarbonization and energy transition advancement noncompliance. In addition, his remarks seem to indicate that this could damage the EU's economy by discouraging investment and also impact the region's energy security. In contrast, the firm’s CEO showed no alarm over the U.S. President-elect's recent pledge to remove the LNG export cap, creating more competition within the LNG market.
