Russia Joins U.S. and Iran in Voting Against UN Climate Change Resolution

Russia joined the U.S. and Iran in voting against a UN climate change resolution that would enforce a July 2025 International Court of Justice advisory opinion declaring it unlawful for countries to neglect climate commitments. The non-binding resolution could require nations to pay full reparations to states affected by climate change. The vote represents significant opposition from major powers to international climate accountability measures.
