Café Economique: Climate Change and Human Rights in International Law. A Talk by Professor Surya Subedi, Professor of International Law, University of Leeds
Professor Subedi will talk about the extent to which a human rights framework can be used to require states to prevent climate change and mitigate its impact on human life. My focus will be on analysing the obligations of states arising from the universality of human rights and how they relate to climate change and how various principles of international law could be utilised to require both states and business organisations to align their activities towards preventing climate change.
