Pacific Islands Students Fighting Climate Change<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cF\u00f6r att ha tagit uppmaningen om klimatr\u00e4ttvisa till Internationella domstolen (ICJ), och d\u00e4rmed gjort \u00f6verlevnad till en fr\u00e5ga om r\u00e4ttigheter samt klimat\u00e5tg\u00e4rder till ett juridiskt ansvar.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Julian Aguon \u00e4r en Chamorro-m\u00e4nniskor\u00e4ttsjurist och f\u00f6rfattare fr\u00e5n Guam, som har \u00e4gnat sitt liv \u00e5t att f\u00f6rsvara urfolks r\u00e4ttigheter, arbeta f\u00f6r deras sj\u00e4lvbest\u00e4mmande och driva kampen f\u00f6r klimatr\u00e4ttvisa. Hans hem, Stilla havet, \u00e4r en av de regioner som drabbas h\u00e5rdast av klimatkrisen. Han spelade en central roll i att s\u00e4kra Internationella domstolens r\u00e5dgivande yttrande 2025, som fastslog att stater har bindande skyldigheter att hantera klimatf\u00f6r\u00e4ndringar \u2013 en milstolpe i folkr\u00e4ttens historia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Han delar Right Livelihood-priset med Pacific Islands Students Fighting Climate Change (PISFCC)<\/a>. Medan den studentledda r\u00f6relsen mobiliserade engagemang i lokalsamh\u00e4llen och internationell solidaritet, f\u00f6rde Aguons advokatbyr\u00e5, Blue Ocean Law<\/strong>, fram den juridiska strategi som bar deras krav till v\u00e4rldens h\u00f6gsta domstol i en kollektiv och generations\u00f6verskridande kampanj.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aguons arbete sp\u00e4nner fr\u00e5n r\u00e4ttssalen till det skrivna ordet. P\u00e5 hemmaplan har han bek\u00e4mpat militariseringen av Guam, avsl\u00f6jat f\u00f6rst\u00f6relsen av marker som g\u00e5tt i arv i generationer p\u00e5 grund av amerikanska milit\u00e4rbaser och samtidigt f\u00f6rsvarat sitt folks r\u00e4tt till sj\u00e4lvbest\u00e4mmande. Som hyllad f\u00f6rfattare och Pulitzerprisfinalist har hans b\u00f6cker och artiklar, inklusive ess\u00e4samlingen No Country for Eight-Spot Butterflies<\/em>, f\u00e5ngat b\u00e5de sk\u00f6nheten och kampen hos Stilla havens folk och etsat in dem i v\u00e4rldens kollektiva medvetande.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genom juridisk aktivism och ber\u00e4ttande har han blivit en ledande r\u00f6st f\u00f6r Stilla havets motst\u00e5nd och en symbol f\u00f6r hopp om en r\u00e4ttvis och h\u00e5llbar framtid.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n

When the Court finally spoke, it felt like the world shifted. The Court was right on the law and also on the right side of history. Its ruling heralded a new era of climate accountability.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
