Abstract
"Human rights are often thought of as applying to such things as rights to a fair trial or protection from torture. Environmental problems have rarely been understood to trigger human rights violations, yet there is a growing interest in potential links between climate change and human rights issues. This post examines whether nations who are responsible for human-induced climate change should be understood to create human rights violations and what is the significance of classifying climate change inaction as a human rights problem." (p.1 ).
