Rich countries, island states lock horns on climate change at UN court

THE HAGUE, Dec 13 (Reuters) - The World Court concluded hearings on Friday on countries' legal obligation to fight climate change and whether large states contributing most to greenhouse-gas emissions should be liable for damage caused to small island nations.
 
The International Court of Justice will issue an opinion on those questions, likely in 2025, that could be cited in climate change-driven litigation around the world.
