DFAT released media talking points (dated 14 November 2025, version 6) prepared for public communication regarding the International Court of Justice's unanimous advisory opinion on climate change obligations delivered in July 2025. Australia's position welcomes the ICJ opinion as a landmark contribution to global climate action and commends Pacific island nations—particularly Vanuatu—for their leadership in requesting the advisory opinion. The talking points emphasize Australia's co-sponsorship of the UN General Assembly resolution seeking the opinion and its participation in ICJ proceedings, while positioning climate change as the greatest shared threat to all countries, with Small Island Developing States facing disproportionate impacts. Australia commits to domestic decarbonization, renewable energy export development, and Pacific region support, while noting engagement with Pacific countries on follow-up UN General Assembly resolution development. The document was updated to reflect a Federal Court appeal decision.
