The students who took climate change to the world’s highest court

From a classroom at the University of the South Pacific, a group of law students launched a global movement to take climate change to the International Court of Justice to save their islands from extinction. The students worked their way up from a small university to the international stage. As their campaign spreads and builds momentum across the world, they learn how to lobby ministers and ambassadors and experience the frustrations of diplomacy. They are driven by the hope of achieving their goal: to push through a historic resolution at the United Nations that will legally define the obligations of states to address climate change.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-truth--6487495/support.
