The evolving relationship between environmental law and human security is a critical area of inquiry in the context of the global climate crisis. This panel will explore how international environmental law and national legal frameworks contribute to or hinder the protection of human security in an era of unprecedented environmental challenges. The panel will analyze key international treaties, national regulations, and legal precedents that shape the global environmental regime, assessing their effectiveness in addressing the complex threats posed by climate change, resource depletion, and environmental degradation.
The discussion will also focus on the interplay between environmental regimes and human security, examining how legal frameworks can be strengthened to better protect vulnerable populations from the impacts of climate change and environmental hazards. By incorporating case studies and comparative analyses, the panel will provide concrete examples of how environmental laws have been implemented in different contexts, highlighting both successes and challenges.
Through this comprehensive approach, the session aims to foster a deeper understanding of the role of law in safeguarding human security in the face of environmental risks. It will also explore potential legal reforms and innovations that could enhance the resilience and effectiveness of environmental governance, ensuring that legal systems are equipped to address the growing threats to human security posed by environmental change.
