This comprehensive book delves into an in-depth examination of how United Nations (UN) human rights institutions and mechanisms have addressed environmental protection, sustainable development, and climate change. Despite the growing involvement of UN human rights bodies in addressing environmental degradation and climate change, a comprehensive review of the convergence between human rights and the environment within these bodies has yet to be conducted. To bridge this gap, this book conducts a comprehensive survey of resolutions, general comments, concluding observations, decisions on individual communications, and press releases. It identifies key principles that have emerged, explores how human rights charter-based and treaty-based institutions interpret environmental principles, and assesses their contributions to the emerging field of human rights and the environment.
Given the disproportionate impact of polluting activities on marginalized and vulnerable groups, the book also discusses how these human rights mechanisms have addressed the impact on women, children, indigenous peoples, people with disabilities, and racial minorities. Authored by a renowned expert in human rights and the environment, this book is a valuable resource for students and scholars engaged in research and teaching in this critical field of study.
