Abstract:
Climate litigation underscores the critical role of judicial systems in addressing
the legal complexities that emanate from global climate governance. The lead-
up to and the aftermath of the Paris Agreement saw the emergence of climate
litigation with claims encompassing a human rights dominance. Climate
litigation serves as a critical tool that not only exposes the deficiencies within
the existing international climate change regime, but also sheds light on the
pressing human rights issues arising from the widespread effects of climate
change. This article examines the value and effectiveness of climate litigation
in enhancing the connection between climate change impacts and the protection
of human rights. This article emphasises the role of the international and
regional judicial bodies in orchestrating the gaps and overlaps in the human
rights and climate change regimes.
