@globalissues.orgGovts adopted the UN Declaration on Sea Level Rise by consensus, affirming coastal states won't lose statehood or sovereignty as waters encroach
UN chief warns futures already at stake for communities worldwide facing displacement, lost land, eroding infrastructure
@globalissues.orgSea level rise isn't abstract for everyone: for low-lying nations it's an existential threat now
World leaders meet to approve a declaration and debate how to strengthen support for those most at risk
@globalissues.orgRising seas driven by emissions now threaten to erase their territory entirely, raising unresolved questions of statehood, citizenship, and maritime boundaries when land itself disappears
@ciel.orgHow?
🌊 Prevent further harm
🌊 Strengthen international cooperation
🌊 Put communities disproportionately affected by #SeaLevelRise at the center of decision-making
🌊 Protect people facing displacement
🌊 Ensure remedy and #ClimateReparation.
@ciel.orgAs governments meet in New York to discuss #SeaLevelRise's impacts, they must ensure climate action is grounded in
✊ #HumanRights,
👨⚖️ International law,
🤝 Cooperation, and
⚖️ Accountability.
@ciel.orgOur briefing explores how recent developments in international law, including the 2025 International Court of Justice Advisory Opinion on climate change, could help clarify that statehood, sovereignty & existing maritime entitlement remain unaffected despite #SeaLevelRise.
#AOLetsGo #ICJClimateAO
@ciel.org🌊 #SeaLevelRise is a human rights and climate justice issue 🌊
What does that mean from an international law and human rights perspective? Our new briefing examines exactly that: www.ciel.org/reports/sea-...
