The Temporal and Equity Dimensions of Human Rights and Climate Change
In her inaugural lecture, Prof. dr. Corina Heri will set out key dynamics of the current ‘government framework’ model of rights-based climate litigation as it enters its second decade. She will discuss two key future research directions for litigating climate change on the basis of human rights law: its temporal and equity dimensions. Outlining the contours of her future research projects, she will engage with the broader legal, political, institutional and epistemic considerations that shape recognition of climate-related threats to human rights.
