Climate change, development and human rights

Abstract

This chapter examines three areas of international law practice - human rights, development, and climate change - with a view to assessing how the imminence of climate disruption enters into and potentially alters the existing discursive fields of human rights and development. Despite many areas of substantive mutual congruence between these three fields, the chapter finds that the background shaping context for all three - that is, the degree to which progress in any of these fields appears to be subject to significant constraints - is likely to limit the degree to which any of these three areas of law can achieve its purported goals, even where they align, absent more radical transformation.
