ICJ: Climate change 'urgent and existential threat'

The top U.N. court on Wednesday described climate change as an "urgent and existential threat", as it handed down a landmark ruling on the legal obligations of countries to prevent it.

"The consequences of climate change are severe and far-reaching: they affect both natural ecosystems and human populations. These consequences underscore the urgent and existential threat posed by climate change," said International Court of Justice president Yuji Iwasawa.
