VISION AND MISSION
With our cross-platform media campaign – NOT JUST CELSIUS, we made the first ever climate proceeding at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) accessible to a broader public.
A decisive ruling by the ICJ should promote binding, ambitious and holistic climate action, contributing to a just and livable future for all humanity.
We believe that this historic process should be understood by all citizens of the world and that the youth fighting for climate justice must be seen and heard.

States and organizations can express their views on the issue through an oral hearing before the court.

In 2025
The International Court of Justice is expected to issue an authoritative legal statement (Advisory Opinion) on climate justice.






Research Approach
The campaign research draws on the scholarship of intersectionality theory with the decolonial approach. This is essential for addressing climate justice within the historical context of the climate crisis, which has shaped and continues to influence climate vulnerability and actions.
