@coe.int Commissioner Michael O’Flaherty urges UN states to back the UNGA resolution and act on the ICJ’s 2025 climate opinion:
🌱 Accountability
⚡ #PhaseOutFossilFuels
🗳️ Protect the right to a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll
The law, the science & human rights are clear. Political will must follow.
For European Member States, in particular, this means:
🗳️ Leading by example by sponsoring and securing the adoption of this resolution.
⚖️ Developing a binding instrument on the right to a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll.

Delivering on these obligations means:
🌡️ Taking effective action to limit global warming to 1.5°C
🏭 Advancing a just transition away from fossil fuels
⚖️ Providing meaningful remedies and reparations for climate harms
🌱 Protecting & enforcing the right to a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll.
That means turning off the tap:

➡️ Allow only minimal, time-limited exemptions
➡️ Protect the right to a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll.
