SUMMARY:Human Rights and Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing humanity
 , as it already affects temperatures, hydrologic conditions, ecosystem func
 tioning, and agricultural productivity in many regions. These impacts const
 itute a serious interference with the exercise of fundamental human rights,
  such as the rights to life, health, water, food, housing, and an adequate 
 standard of living. Most vulnerable groups whose fundamental rights are alr
 eady at risk are particularly affected. Therefore, we must embed human righ
 ts discussions in our responses to climate change. More conversation is nee
 ded that connects human rights and climate change, both in academic and res
 earch circles and amongst the wider public, to enhance climate justice and 
 to strengthen climate resilience. The Royal Society of Edinburgh and the Hu
 man Rights Committee of the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina 
 continue to contribute to global thinking on this matter.\n\nDuring the sym
 posium, experts from the fields of science, politics and society will discu
 ss how climate change impacts human rights and what measures are possible a
 nd needed to strengthen the human rights of those affected. We will look to
  address implications for climate change research and look forward to welco
 ming an international audience to interactive sessions with keynote speaker
 s and panellists.\n\nThe Human Rights Committee of the German National Acad
 emy of Sciences Leopoldina is organising its 9th Human Rights and Science S
 ymposium, this time jointly with the Royal Society of Edinburgh, Scotland’s
  National Academy, on the topic “Human Rights and Climate Change”. Join us 
 virtually before the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) comme
 nces the following week (1–12 November 2021) in Glasgow city.\n\nFurther In
