The ICJ Advisory Opinion on State obligations in relation to methane and maritime fuel
This brief examines the legal obligations that flow from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) Advisory Opinion on Climate Change (2025) as they relate to Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) in the maritime shipping sector. The ICJ Advisory Opinion was rendered unanimously.
