The UN General Assembly has passed a significant resolution supporting strong action against climate change, despite opposition from fossil fuel-producing countries like the US, Russia, Iran, and Saudi Arabia. The resolution endorses a previous advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice, emphasizing the legal obligations of states to protect the planet. It includes measures to limit global temperature rise and phase out fossil fuel subsidies. The vote was 141-8 with 28 abstentions, highlighting the divide between nations on climate action.
