CMC\u2014Antigua and Barbuda Prime Minister Gast\u00f3n Browne on Monday called on the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to use its voice to \u201cinspire action\u201d that has eluded the political arena as his country and other small island developing states (SIDS) seek advisory opinions on states\u2019 obligations regarding climate change.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The ICJ is holding public hearings on a request for an advisory opinion on the Obligation of States regarding climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Browne told the ICJ that his country is a \u201csmall island state on the front line of a global climate emergency\u201d and that his appearance here is because \u201cexisting action has not adequately addressed the crisis that is devastating our lives and our future.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

He said that for decades, Antigua and Barbuda has experienced the consequences of climate change, including rising sea levels driven by unchecked greenhouse gas emissions that have eroded the country\u2019s coastlines.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

He also told the court that ocean temperatures have risen, disrupting the delicate ecosystems that sustain the fishing sector and other forms of livelihood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Browne said Antigua and Barbuda has also had to deal with the passage of hurricanes, including Irma in 2017, which struck with winds of 270 miles per hour. The rebuilding exercise has \u201cadded tremendously to our debt burden.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Browne said that while large, wealthy countries can borrow on the international markets at three percent per annum, \u201cthe so-called high-income SIDS like Antigua and Barbuda must borrow commercially at 10 percent to finance repeated building of infrastructure damaged by hurricanes caused by the failure of other states to mitigate emissions\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said the principle of prevention, a cornerstone of international environmental law, demands that states take action to avoid causing significant harm to others.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYet, global emissions continue to rise,\u201d he said, adding that as the threshold of 1.5 degrees Celsius is being crossed, the very existence of SIDS is threatened by the failure of the polluting countries to act.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo participant has disputed that greenhouse gas emissions emanating from human activity are causing and will continue to cause significant harm to the climate system, the populations globally, and the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNor has any participant dispute the conclusion of the global stocktake that current efforts are insufficient,\u201d he told the ICCJ that \u201ceven now, the Loss and Damage Fund, which was recently established, has received only US$700 million in pledges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI emphasize pledges, not contributions. This pledge amount is inadequate compared to the scale of small countries\u2019 climate-related losses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Browne said his country has worked tirelessly to address the crisis. His advocacy has taken him to forums outside of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea(ITLOS), and SIDS, creating the Commission of Small Island States on Climate Change and International Law (COSIS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe seek this advisory opinion not to point fingers but to clarify the obligations of states under international law before the clock on our survival runs out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe ask what small states or states generally do on international law to protect the climate system for present and future generations. What is the responsibility of those whose actions contributed disproportionately to this crisis?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAntigua and Barbuda stands in solidarity with other vulnerable nations, particularly our fellow small island states. Together, we endured the worst crisis that we did not create. But today, we also stand with the millions across the globe who are looking to this court for a path forward, for clarity, justice, and certainly hope\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Browne said his country and SIDS believe in the power of international law and that the ICJ\u2019s voice \u201ccan inspire the urgent action that has eluded the political arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018It can remind the world that small nations\u2019 rights, vulnerable peoples, and future generations are not secondary but fundamental. The people of Antigua and Barbuda are counting on you. The world is counting on you, and I say here this is not just a legal question; it is a matter of survival,\u201d Prime Minister Browne told the ICJ.<\/p>\n
