From Vulnerability to Justice: Human Rights Responses to Climate Change
A crucial component of environmental law is the understanding of climate change. Global warming is a phenomenon that affects every aspect of the world. Human rights and climate change are intertwined and interdependent. Global issues like climate change affect society's political, social, economic, and environmental facets. Legal access to justice enables citizens to uphold climate justice and protect the environment. International legislation concerning the field of climate is very broad. the contamination of the atmosphere brought on by greenhouse gas emissions, primarily from human activity. The agricultural sector, energy generation, industrial operations, heat and water stress, droughts, and human water consumption are all impacted by greenhouse gas emissions. International conventions and treaties that safeguard human rights, such as the UDHR, ICCPR, and ICESCR, can be used to integrate measures connected to climate change. The fundamental human right known as the "right to life," which is the most vital right of every person, is impacted by environmental changes both directly and indirectly. Future generations' survival on Earth is under peril due to climate change. It will be difficult for humans to survive if we are unable to preserve our climate.
