In honor of Earth Day last week, we are featuring an episode of Justice Matters with co-host Aminta Ossom on the topic of climate change and human rights. Aminta speaks with Sam Bookman, a scholar of climate change law and human rights, a Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard’s Project on the Foundations of Private Law, and a Hauser Global Fellow at NYU’s Guarini Center on Environmental Law. He publishes widely on topics of constitutional design, climate litigation, and social movements, as well as environmental human and nonhuman rights. He is an active litigator in his role as a Senior Staff Attorney at the Cyrus R. Vance Center for International Justice. In today’s conversation Aminta and Sam discuss: how climate change and human rights overlap, examples of climate action campaigns utilizing the human rights infrastructure, where there are conflicts of interests between climate action and human rights, how to understanding the terms “rights of nature” and “ecocide” and there use, the outcomes of climate campaigns that have targeted corporate emitters, and a look at cases being litigated around the world and new developments in the field of climate change and human rights.
