This 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.
