Last week, the International Court of Justice issued a unanimous opinion on climate change. What did they find?
Climate change’s impacts on human rights require “mitigation and adaptation measures, with due account given to the protection of human rights, the adoption of standards and legislation, and the regulation of the activities of private actors”

Countries should avoid sending individuals seeking safety from conditions resulting from climate change that endanger their lives back to their country of origin
All of the above

It threatens to further erode access to independent information and legitimize mass surveillance online under the guise of national security
