Book excerpt: This work raises the need to create an ICC (International Climate Court) in order to repair and reduce the environmental inequalities suffered by Africa, as well as small island developing States, which, by their geographical location and their level of development, are harmed or especially affected by the harmful effects of climate change. Excessive greenhouse gas emissions, pollution due to fast fashion; radioactive waste; as well as the complexity of climatic migrations seriously alter the protection of the environment by and on the African continent. The proliferation of cases before the ECHR, The conviction of Switzerland on Tuesday April 9, 2024 by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) for violation of the Human Rights Convention and The proliferation of cases before the I/A Court H.R, because the exercise of certain rights guaranteed by the Conventions can be compromised by environmental degradation and exposure to environmental risks shows the obvious need of an ICC (International Climate Court) to reduce environmental inequalities.
