Human Rights and Climate Change

13/6/2019

0 Comments

 
In a groundbreaking climate change case announced in May, lawyers with ClientEarth are acting on behalf of a group of indigenous Australians from the Torres Strait region, who are making a complaint against the Australian government, for its failure to act.
Making a submission to the United Nations Human Rights Committee, they allege that the effects of Australia’s insufficient plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and its failure to fund coastal defences constitute a violation of their human rights.

ClientEarth 
  is a charity that uses the power of the law to protect the planet and the people who live on it. They are lawyers and environmental experts who are fighting against climate change and to protect nature and the environment.  This case is the first of its kind in the world.  Many governments will need to pay attention to the outcome from the U.N. Human Rights Committee..
