International Journal of Human Rights and Constitutional Studies

Special Issue on: “Responsible Business – Human Rights and Climate Change”

Guest Editor:
Prof. Gorazd Justinek, New University, Slovenia

Climate change has upended human lives and endangered their livelihoods. It has negatively affected provisions of individuals’ socio-economic rights and thereby negatively affected socio-economic livelihoods and has been responsible for loss and damage. In turn, the erosion of socio-economic lives has also negatively affected the enjoyment of civil and political rights and conditioned the exercise of the rule of law principle. Sovacool, Burke, Baker, Kumar Kotikalapudi, Wlokas have argued that “the field of energy justice has overwhelmingly been defined by concerns with ethics and morality among and between humans. Numerous rights-holders have suffered loss and damages resulting in multi-layered human rights violations. Most scientists have ascribed responsibility for the negative effects of climate change to state and business sectors. In the past decades, the states have turned a blind eye to the negative effects of carbon emissions on the environment. They have failed to regulate businesses and other actors properly. Businesses, preeminent carbon-significant corporations, have struggled to introduce due diligence in their operations and to employ climate mitigation and adaptation measures. UNEP in 2015 noted that “climate change has already begun to have far-reaching environmental impacts, including many adverse effects on wildlife, natural resources and the ecological processes that support access to clean water, food, and other basic human needs.” Many international bodies for the protection of human rights have been drawing attention to them for at least the last decade.
