What’s in a Right? Concretizing States’ Climate Change Mitigation Obligations under Human Rights Law

States owe duties under human rights law to protect individuals from climate harm by mitigating climate change individually and collectively, in order to secure the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C goal. It is, however, unclear what human rights law requires of states generally in terms of emissions reduction trajectories. This article elucidates that question, by looking at what reduction obligations can be deduced from scholarship and the work of human rights enforcement mandates. It argues that it is not possible to deduce individualized reduction obligations or methods to calculate such obligations from the current body of human rights law. The article then explores three different pathways to achieve such concretization: law-making, litigation, and monitoring bodies. The analysis provides a platform for human rights law to realize its potential in advancing state ambition on mitigating climate change at the norm-level by assessing the promise of the different pathways to concretization.

右边有什么?具体化人权法规定的各国减缓气候变化的义务

根据人权法,各国有义务通过单独和集体减缓气候变化来保护个人免受气候伤害,以实现《巴黎协定》的 1.5°C 目标。然而,目前尚不清楚人权法对各国减排轨迹的总体要求。本文通过研究可以从学术和人权执行任务中推断出哪些减少义务来阐明这个问题。它认为,不可能从现行人权法体系中推断出个性化的减少义务或计算这种义务的方法。然后,本文探讨了实现这种具体化的三种不同途径:立法、诉讼和监督机构。该分析为人权法提供了一个平台,通过评估不同具体化途径的前景,实现人权法在规范层面上推进减缓气候变化的国家雄心的潜力。
