S’pore submits statement to ICJ ahead of the court’s ruling on countries’ climate-related obligations

Singapore submitted its written statement on the matter to the ICJ on March 20, two days before the deadline.

“Like other low-lying small island developing states, Singapore is especially vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, including rising sea levels,” MFA said. UN member states and international organisations were to submit their written statements based on three legal issues they wanted the ICJ to address.

Ms Granzotto is a member of the World’s Youth for Climate Justice, a global youth-led organisation that started the movement to obtain an advisory opinion from the ICJ. “With time, when the majority of states comply with rules, the ones who do not will have to justify their decision, making it harder for them to not comply without affecting their reputation,” she said.
