Internationalen Gerichtshof (IGH) gebracht haben, um Staaten rechtlich zum Klimaschutz zu verpflichten.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pacific Islands Students Fighting Climate Change (PISFCC) ist eine von jungen Menschen aus Ozeanien gef\u00fchrte Organisation. F\u00fcr die Zukunft des Planeten und seinen Bewohner*innen brachte PISFCC die Klimakrise vor den Internationalen Gerichtshof (IGH) in Den Haag. Die Organisation wurde 2019 von 27 Jurastudierenden gegr\u00fcndet, die in einem Seminarraum der University of the South Pacific in Vanuatu mit ihrer Idee den Grundstein zur Kampagne legten. F\u00fcr sie ist der Klimawandel keine abstrakte Bedrohung: Zyklone zerst\u00f6ren im Pazifik ganze Volkswirtschaften, der steigende Meeresspiegel vertreibt Familien, das Salzwasser macht Ernten unbrauchbar.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nach f\u00fcnf Jahren engagierter Arbeit in der globalen Klima-Bewegung, die die Menschenrechte ins Zentrum stellte, errang PISFCC im Juli 2025 einen historischen Erfolg. Der Internationale Gerichtshof (IGH) erkl\u00e4rte in einem Gutachten, dass Staaten rechtlich verpflichtet sind, Klimasch\u00e4den zu verhindern, Menschenrechte zu sch\u00fctzen, Wiedergutmachung zu leisten sowie gegenw\u00e4rtige und zuk\u00fcnftige Generationen zu sichern. Diese Entscheidung gilt als Meilenstein des V\u00f6lkerrechts und er\u00f6ffnet weltweit neue Wege f\u00fcr Klimagerechtigkeit.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zentral f\u00fcr die Strategie von PISFCC war, betroffene Gemeinschaften in Ozeanien selbst zu Wort kommen zu lassen \u2013 denjenigen, die am wenigsten zum Klimawandel beitragen, aber bereits deutlich von den Auswirkungen betroffen sind. Indem PISFCC diese Stimmen des Verlusts, der Widerstandskraft und Anspruch auf Gerechtigkeit vor den IGH trug, stellten sie sicher, dass sie Eingang in das Rechtsgutachten fanden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PISFCC teilt den Right Livelihood Award 2025 mit dem Juristen und Autor <a href=\"https:\/\/rightlivelihood.org\/de\/the-change-makers\/find-a-laureate\/julian-aguon\/\">Julian Aguon<\/a>, dessen Rechtsteam den Fall entscheidend voranbrachte. Die partnerschaftliche Zusammenarbeit von Jugendbewegung und juristischem Ansatz zeigt, wie kollektives Handeln Systeme ver\u00e4ndern kann. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n   <\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" data-block-id=\"401dc384-5b07-4139-a773-d0b90c8a5b2c\"  class=\"haj-section haj-relative block-editor-block-list__block wp-block wp-block-haj-main-section has-sand-background-color haj-height-auto offset-menu haj-w-large haj-flex-wrap haj-flex-middle haj-height-expand haj-height-expand@m haj-height-expand@s    \">\n   \n      \n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7abde1fe wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-medium-heading-font-size\">It\u2019s not about us.

they learn the term itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Reef Islands of the Solomon Islands, PISFCC President Cynthia Houniuhi remembers growing up surrounded by abundance: fish in the reef and fruit from the trees. Yet by the time she reached secondary school, the changes were stark.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cWe would travel back to my dad\u2019s village during holidays and the sight that would greet us went from being the most beautiful place to a place where the houses had their posts already in the water. I didn\u2019t know the word \u2018climate change\u2019 yet, but I saw what it meant,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Across the Pacific, communities echoed these realities: coral bleaching, salinised gardens, and graves washed away. <em>\u201cWe contribute almost nothing to emissions,\u201d<\/em> Houniuhi says, <em>\u201cbut our whole selves, our homes, our languages, our identities are at stake.\u201d<\/em> For PISFCC\u2019s Director Vishal Prasad, the lesson was clear: building sea walls could never be enough; only transformational change could match the scale of the crisis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-22c1a5cd wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:40%\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-neue-haas-grotesk-font-family has-medium-heading-font-size\">An Idea Too Big for One Classroom<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Frustrated by the slow pace of global negotiations, the lack of real political will, and the refusal of powerful states to commit to a full fossil fuel phase-out \u2014 even as science warned of a closing window before 2030 \u2014 they decided to act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The spark was ignited in a law lecture in 2019. Twenty-seven students asked, why were international regimes so unambitious? Their discussion landed on the role of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the world&#8217;s highest court, which adjudicates disputes among states.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cWhat could be more ambitious than asking the ICJ itself to speak?\u201d Houniuhi recalls. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Collectively, they drafted a question that placed human rights and intergenerational equity at the centre: \u201cWhat are the obligations of States under international law to protect the rights of present and future generations against the adverse effects of climate change?\u201d This framing later shaped the resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly in March 2023, which referred a version of the question to the Court: \u201cWhat are the obligations of States under international law to ensure the protection of the climate system and other parts of the environment for present and future generations?\u201d The students then together formed the youth-led organisation Pacific Islands Students Fighting Climate Change to take the ICJ AO campaign forward.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From that classroom, they wrote letters, drafted briefs and persuaded leaders. Vanuatu became the first government to adopt their call, beginning a partnership that lasted through to the ICJ hearings. When the Covid-19 pandemic halted travel, PISFCC helped create the World\u2019s Youth for Climate Justice (WYCJ). This organisation became the international youth arm of the campaign, building global awareness, coordinating advocacy across continents and connecting their Pacific struggle to a wider movement. They also helped convene a civil-society alliance of over 1,700 organisations.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Global collective action was much needed for the campaign to get off the ground and make it to the ICJ chambers. For the Court to consider such a request, member states of the UN General Assembly need to refer the question, requiring vast international support. Under Vanuatu\u2019s leadership, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution by consensus in 2023 requesting the Court\u2019s opinion clarifying international legal obligations to protect the climate system and address climate damage.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was nothing short of David versus Goliath: young law students and one small island state forcing the world\u2019s most powerful nations to answer for the climate crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Houniuhi, the delivery of the International Court of Justice\u2019s Advisory Opinion carried the weight of countless sacrifices and the voices of all who had testified. She described it as a mixture of grief and relief, the sense of finally being heard. Prasad describes it as <em>\u201cthe biggest push for climate justice in decades, turning hope into something tangible.\u201d<\/em>   <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-22c1a5cd wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:40%\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-neue-haas-grotesk-font-family has-medium-heading-font-size\">Speaking for Our Ancestors, Our Islands, Our Future<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>PISFCC insisted that the law must be infused with lived experience. They annexed community testimonies from the Solomon Islands, Fiji and Tonga to state submissions, created the Witness Stand video campaign, and convened a People\u2019s Assembly whose petition Prasad carried into the Great Hall of Justice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the hearings opened at the International Court of Justice, Houniuhi and Prasad both addressed the judges: the first time Pacific youth had spoken directly to the ICJ. Houniuhi delivered a six-minute opening statement in both her native language and in English, moving the Court with the power of her words. She drew inspiration from her grandmother, who had reminded her: <em>\u201cYou see the islands \u2014 that\u2019s ours.\u201d<\/em> Those words, she later said, gave her strength to speak not only for herself, but for generations past and future.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThe emotion came from understanding the sacrifices of so many, and from knowing their voices were in that courtroom with me,\u201d she remembers.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Their speeches also showed something larger: that there is space in the world for campaigns that are both as profoundly ambitious as authentic, led not by performance, but by people true to themselves and their communities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-22c1a5cd wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:40%\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-neue-haas-grotesk-font-family has-medium-heading-font-size\">The Ruling That Turned the Tide<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>On 23 July 2025, the ICJ delivered its opinion. It confirmed that states have binding obligations under international law to prevent climate harm, cooperate to protect vulnerable peoples, and align their actions with the 1.5 degree Celsius goal and best available science. Crucially, it established that breaches entail consequences: cessation of harmful conduct, and full reparations, from ecosystem restoration to compensation and recognition. Although ICJ advisory opinions are not legally binding, they carry great authoritative weight as interpretations of international law.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the first time the ICJ has spoken on climate change, and it delivered one of the most progressive advisory opinions in the Court\u2019s history,\u201d Prasad says. \u201cIt shifts climate action from voluntary pledges to legal obligations. It gives us a tool to hold states accountable, everywhere.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>For frontline communities, the opinion is both a shield and a compass, affirming that their struggles are not charity cases but matters of right.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-f33ee1b5 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:40%\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-neue-haas-grotesk-font-family has-medium-heading-font-size\">An Alliance that Made World History<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The campaign\u2019s strength lay in partnership. Among PISFCC\u2019s and WYCJ\u2019s closest allies was Chamoru lawyer and writer Julian Aguon, who shares the Award. While PISFCC mobilised youth, governments and global civil society, Aguon and his team at Blue Ocean Law advanced the legal strategy, drafting questions and defending the resolution text against attempts to weaken it.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working in parallel, each organisation played a distinct but complementary role: campaigning created the political momentum, while legal experts safeguarded the integrity of the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The shared award recognises that combination: the fire of youth-led mobilisation and the rigour of legal advocacy. Together, they brought \u201cthe world\u2019s biggest problem to the world\u2019s highest court.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-f33ee1b5 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:40%\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-neue-haas-grotesk-font-family has-medium-heading-font-size\">Holding the Line: No Choice but to Keep Fighting<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The opinion is not the end. <em>\u201cNow comes the hard part: operationalising it,\u201d <\/em>says Prasad. PISFCC is pressuring governments to align their national climate plans with the Court\u2019s baseline, accelerate the phase-out of fossil fuels and make climate finance grant-based, so frontline communities receive support without being trapped in debt. For Pacific peoples, this means survival funding that is accessible, equitable and rooted in justice rather than loans. PISFCC is also building regional youth capacity to lead future advocacy and preparing for upcoming UN climate negotiations, insisting that talks rise above \u2014 never fall below \u2014 the ICJ\u2019s floor.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The opinion is more than symbolic. It establishes that the 1.5 degree Celsius goal is binding and that national climate pledges, known as Nationally Determined Contributions, or NDCs, must be grounded in science and human rights. Prasad explains that the next five years will be critical: the decisive window in which either the world bends emissions downward or locks in catastrophe.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cFor the first time, the law says states can\u2019t just promise. They are obliged,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The journey has been exhausting. All leaders describe sleepless nights, time away from families, and the strain of carrying the weight of their communities\u2019 expectations. Yet in the midst of this, they also graduated as lawyers, and Houniuhi has returned to the very university where the campaign began, now teaching the next generation.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThe alternative is unthinkable. If we stop, we lose everything. That\u2019s why we keep going. It\u2019s not about us. It\u2019s about everyone who deserves that win.
