Vanuatu is leading a diplomatic push at the United Nations to adopt a resolution that would implement the International Court of Justice’s 2025 advisory opinion on climate‑justice obligations. The draft, slated for an Earth Day vote on 22 April 2026, calls for stronger emissions cuts, loss‑and‑damage financing and a future International Register of Damage, though the Register language has been watered down. The United States, under the Trump administration, has publicly objected and is pressuring Vanuatu to withdraw, citing threats to U.S. industry. Despite minimal economic ties—U.S. aid, trade and tourism each account for only a few percent of Vanuatu’s economy—the island nation remains steadfast, highlighting the growing influence of small‑state coalitions in multilateral climate governance.
