Human Rights and Climate Change: EU Policy Options

This study provides a survey of the state of the relationships currently established between human rights and climate change. It examines the external diplomacy of the EU in the fields of human rights and climate change, and their relationship. It analyzes the effectiveness and the efficiency of the integration of climate concerns within the EU’s external development policy.
In this respect, special emphasis is put on migration issues. The study then turns the analysis towards internal EU climate policies, which are explored from the perspective of human rights. Finally, this work clarifies how the environmental human right to public information and participation in decision-making appears and may evolve in EU internal and external climate policy.
