Abstract
In 2021, the International Law Commission (ILC) recognized the need to distinguish between sovereignty over static territories and the Earth System in its functional aspect. This acknowledgment of two fundamentally different realities—one dynamic and functional, the other static and territorial—enables a legal framework to address climate stability as an intangible legal object, akin to software. This distinction is crucial to prevent the atmosphere and oceans from being garbage dumps for economic negative externalities. This article discusses the recognition of the Earth System's functional aspect as a Common Heritage of Humankind in fostering collective action and non- offsetting CO2 removals to control climate change.
