PM BROWNE WELCOMES ADVISORY OPINION SET TO TURN THE TIDE IN CLIMATE JUSTICE FIGHT

Prime Minister, Hon. Gaston Browne has welcomed a landmark advisory opinion in a case which he helped to take before the world’s ocean court.

The International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, ITLOS, weighed in on the obligations of states to protect the world’s oceans from climate-warming greenhouse gas emissions.

The ruling in favour of the Commission of Small Island States on Climate Change and international law, which was co-founded by Prime Minister Browne, could turn the tide against sea level rise. The head of government reacted to the development in an exclusive interview with ABS’ Andrena Athill-Dasouza
