International law can change to tackle new challenges like climate change in a few important ways:
Creating New Rules: We can make new rules that say we have a duty to protect the environment. These rules can help countries know how to act.
Updating Agreements: We can change old agreements or make new ones, like the Paris Agreement, to encourage countries to work together on reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Global Organizations: Groups like the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) are really important for helping countries talk and make sure everyone follows the rules.
By working together and making sure everyone sticks to these commitments, international law can better handle climate-related issues and promote sustainable development around the world.
