By Zoila Palma: Minister of Sustainable Development, Climate Change, and Solid Waste Management Orlando Habet, informed Cabinet this week on the recent International Court of Justice (ICJ) advisory opinion on climate change obligations, highlighting Belize’s pivotal role in shaping the historic decision and its far-reaching implications.
The ICJ’s ruling reinforces the legal responsibilities of states to combat climate change and significantly strengthens Belize’s position in global climate negotiations.
Minister Habet noted that the decision not only enhances the country’s advocacy for increased funding for loss and damage, but also helps align Belize’s national policies with emerging international legal standards.
Belize’s active participation in the proceedings has positioned the country as a regional leader in climate diplomacy, bolstering efforts to shape stronger and more equitable climate policies across the Caribbean and Central America.
