This article explores the complex relationship between human rights law and climate change. The study further examines how climate change can affect human rights, while also considering how climate change can create barriers to the enjoyment of these rights. Through a comprehensive analysis of the literature and real-world case studies, the article provides a nuanced understanding of how climate change can impact human rights and offers recommendations for policymakers seeking to balance the interests of inventors and society as a whole.
