SUMMARY:Seminar & Profile Area networking: Human rights\, climate change\, 
 and just transition
DESCRIPTION:Contact: info@humanrights.lu.se\n\nThe event is fully booked. F
 or a place on the waiting list\, please contact: info@humanrights.lu.se.&n
 bsp\;&nbsp\;Human rights law has become central to the green transition. O
 n the one hand\, rights-based climate change litigation has been used to p
 ush states and corporations towards greater mitigation ambition\, with lan
 dmark court cases such as Urgenda and KlimaSeniorinnen establishing that i
 nadequate climate change law and policy can violate human rights. On the o
 ther hand\, human rights law is increasingly invoked to challenge the just
 ice of climate change action itself\, particularly where renewable energy\
 , mining\, and other transition projects affect the livelihoods and cultur
 al practices of Indigenous peoples and rural communities. This emerging fi
 eld of rights-based just transition litigation raises difficult questions 
 about how climate change action is approved\, designed\, and implemented\,
  rather than whether that action is necessary.&nbsp\;This presentation exa
 mines the relationship between these two aspects of human rights law. It a
 rgues that rights-based litigation can operate as a double-edged sword in 
 the climate change context: climate change litigation can accelerate mitig
 ation\, while the just transition litigation can expose and potentially ha
 lt unjust transition measures. It seeks to understand the links between th
 ese types of litigation\, framing them as interconnected indications of go
 vernance failure in the climate change context. Where states fail to adopt
  ambitious climate change policy\, litigation is triggered to drive action
 \; where states approve transition projects without meaningful participati
 on and consent\, litigation is triggered to challenge injustice.&nbsp\;Und
 erstanding their interaction is therefore essential for designing climate 
 change governance that is both rapid and just. A just transition requires 
 not only more climate action\, but climate action that is ambitious\, fair
 \, and grounded in human rights.&nbsp\;Limited seats\, please register by 
 22/9 using this&nbsp\;registration form.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Learn more about the
