abstract: This paper deals with the linkage of international human
rights and climate change. It focuses on the approach to deduce
legal claims in the form of compensations and concrete measures
from international human rights in the course of impairments
through climate change. This paper shall give a short overview on
the issue climate change in general, including its causes, effects
and the current political strategies. It furthermore provides a
synopsis on how human rights are impaired by global warming and
climate change effects. Unfortunately, this essay will come to the
conclusion that the international human rights approach struggles
with functioning as a solitary legal basis in that context and with
stepping beyond the just moral implication. Human rights'
legislative potential rather lies 'in the development of more
encompassing and more inclusive legal and political strategies.
Human rights may advisably be instrumentalized to strengthen
political debates and be used as an incitement to set up
enforceable and balanced agreements on reasonable measures of
equalization and support.
