Human Rights and Climate Change
Climate change caused by human activity has undisputedly a negative impact on the full enjoyment of a wide variety of human rights, including the right to life, to food and water, to a adequate standard of living, to housing etc. In the workshop we want to shed light on the different aspects of the topic.
The workshop will be held in two parts. During the first part of the semester students will work in groups (3 to 4 students) and prepare presentations and papers on self-chosen topics relating to this semester’s theme. After a first organisational meeting at the beginning of the semester, there will be no weekly class meetings, but rather individual guidance sessions with Prof. Martina Caroni and her team for the groups. During the second part of the semester, there will be weekly meetings for the group presentations and discussion of the issues presented.
