Description

The Global Network for Human Rights and the Environment (GNHRE) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) hosted their third annual online Summer/Winter School on Environmental and Human Rights from 11-15 September 2023. This year the Summer/Winter School focused on the theme Transformations and Transitions. The School was held in collaboration with the University of Southampton Law School and with the ongoing support of the One Ocean Hub.
This moment in history is often defined in terms of multi-faceted environmental crises, demanding profound social, economic, political, and legal change. And significant changes are being made in all of these areas. This year’s School will examine themes of transformative governance, (just) transition and the many dimensions of ‘change’ that enhance or threaten human rights and the environment. The insights arising from ongoing research, as well as from Global South-North and rightholders-researchers collaborations, under the One Ocean Hub have contributed to identify themes and approaches for the call for panels, in order to help address disconnects between areas of expertise and practice on human rights and the environment.
