This short Paper lays out some of the legal questions that are implicated in the emerging debate on climate change and human rights and suggests ways in which international human rights law could be approached in order to promote clarity in the discourse of human rights and climate change. In Part II, it outlines some of the context that defines the intersection of human
rights and climate change; in Part III, it delineates the different types of questions raised by the interface; and, in Part IV, it offers potential conceptualizations of the relationship between human rights and climate change.
