After filing a strong objection to the underwhelming climate finance agreement at the 29th Conference of Parties (COP29) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, India again slammed developed countries for their lacklustre commitment to climate action at the Hague.

The ruling by the court's 15 judges, expected early this year, will be the first of its kind and will explicitly provide clarity on two critical issues.

The second issue deals with the legal consequences that countries could face if they do not take climate action required for the well-being of present and future generations.
