One of my absolute favourite things about the Pacific -- the sky is so clear, it always takes my breath away. I can never get tired of it. 🌙 (I will have to fetch a better phone to actually capture a Nouméa moon properly)

Astounding victory on climate change legal obligations. ICJ rules unanimously that states have international legal obligations, including duty to cooperate, to prevent transboundary and environmental harm and to act with due diligence in the context of climate change.
