Future directions for environmental human rights in a changing climate. 330 $aThis book examines the current status of environmental human rights at the international, regional, and national levels and provides a critical analysis of possible future developments in this area, particularly in the context of a changing climate. It examines various conceptualisations of environmental human rights, including procedural rights relating to the environment, constitutional environmental rights, the environmental dimensions of existing human rights such as the rights to water, health, food, housing and life, and the notion of a stand-alone human right to a healthy environment. The book addresses the topic from a variety of perspectives, drawing on underlying theories of human rights as well as a range of legal, political, and pragmatic considerations. It examines the scope of current human rights, particularly those enshrined in international and regional human rights law, to explore their application and enforceability in relation to environmental problems, identifying potential barriers to more effective implementation. It also analyses the rationale for constitutional recognition of environmental rights and considers the impact that this area of law has had, both in terms of achieving stronger environmental protection and environmental justice, as well as in influencing the development of human rights law more generally. The book identifies climate change as the key environmental challenge facing the global community, as well as a major cause of negative human rights impacts. It examines the contribution that environmental human rights might make to rights-based approaches to climate change. 606 $aInternational environmental law 606 $aClimate change 606 $aHuman rights 606 $aSocial justice 606 $aInternational Environmental Law$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19070 606 $aClimate Change Management and Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/314000 606 $aHuman Rights$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19020 606 $aSocial Justice, Equality and Human Rights$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X33070 615 0$aInternational environmental law. 615 0$aClimate change. 615 0$aHuman rights. 615 0$aSocial justice. 615 14$aInternational Environmental Law. 615 24$aClimate Change Management and Policy. 615 24$aHuman Rights. 615 24$aSocial Justice, Equality and Human Rights. 676 $a344.04633 700 $aLewis$b Bridget$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0792354 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300060003321 996 $aEnvironmental human rights and climate change$91771743 997 $aUNINA
