John — every victory matters in the ongoing climate fight. And the U.N.’s highest court just delivered a massive one.

The International Court of Justice unanimously ruled that countries have a legal obligation to protect people from the impacts of climate change.

In their ruling, the court even linked fossil fuel support to human rights violations, declaring that environmental destruction threatens our basic right to survive. Unlike the climate scientists Trump has silenced or the EPA findings he’s rolled back, this international ruling is beyond his reach to manipulate or erase.

The most incredible part? This ruling was possible because of people power. It started with brave law students from Vanuatu — a Pacific island nation that is feeling the worst impacts of the climate crisis — who refused to let their voices be silenced. They had the guts to bring their case before the World Court, and they WON.

Now it’s up to us to turn this landmark ruling into action. Our leaders must take the climate crisis seriously, and the pressure starts with this grassroots movement. Right here, right now.

This verdict will only matter if we make it matter, John. Sign on now if you agree our world leaders must honor the U.N. Court’s climate ruling and protect our planet from the dangerous fossil fuel agenda.

Onward,
