In recent years, the international legal community has intensified efforts to address the intersection of climate change and armed conflicts. A significant development is the International Law Commission's (ILC) adoption of the Draft Principles on Protection of the Environment in Relation to Armed Conflicts (PERAC) in 2022. These principles aim to enhance environmental safeguards during all phases of conflict, emphasizing the importance of environmental considerations in military operations. Additionally, the growing movement to criminalize "ecocide"—the extensive destruction of ecosystems—has gained momentum, with proposals to amend the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court to include ecocide as a prosecutable offense. This reflects a broader recognition of the need for legal frameworks that protect the environment amidst warfare. Furthermore, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has recently engaged in proceedings to clarify states' legal obligations concerning climate change, which could have implications for environmental protection during conflicts. These initiatives underscore a heightened commitment within public international law to address the complex relationship between climate change and armed conflict.
