This book addresses the impact of climate change on human rights, particularly vulnerable populations such as people in the developing world, children, and Indigenous communities. Additionally, this book proposes the application of the human security paradigm as an essential approach for addressing human rights issues, including its impact on climate change. The human security paradigm is a people-centered approach to addressing climate change. By focusing on people, human security provides a framework for protecting human rights from the impact of climate change. With contributions from experts in climate policy, international relations, and human rights, this book provides a groundbreaking examination to the intersection of climate change, human rights, and human security.
