Abstract
Laws and institutions for the defense of human rights must rapidly evolve to the new
reality of climate change. When vulnerable communities have tried to use human rights
law to defend their rights and seek climate justice, important weaknesses in human
rights law have been revealed. It is almost impossible for populations in poor countries
to identify and pursue channels of justice, to have their cases heard, or to prove
responsibility.
