Abstract

This chapter aims to narrow the existing information gap between climate change and human rights. This chapter serves as proof that climate change is a significant anthropogenic catastrophe and ecological calamity. To prioritise the interests of the most vulnerable individuals, it argues that decisions on climate change should consider human rights. This chapter emphasises the need for researchers, activists, and political leaders to have a broader perspective on climate change that extends beyond the apparent economic and environmental risks. Moreover, it is imperative to identify a feasible, equitable, and enduring resolution, as this issue poses a threat to fundamental human rights.
