Description
Climate change, already affecting the lives of millions, is increasingly becoming one of the most urgent human rights challenges facing the global community. Yet government responses to climate change to date have tended to consider it an ecological problem or, more recently, an economic issue, with the social and human rights implications of climate change rarely featuring in policy debates about climate change. This article argues that human rights principles remain essential to effectively and equitably cope with the impacts of climate change. The paper explores how such a framework might apply in the context of climate change adaptation measures, aid for overseas adaptation, disaster management and in responding to 'climate change refugees'.
