Campus Week 2026 | Keynote on Human Rights and Climate Change
As part of Campus Week 2026, we are pleased to welcome Dr. Carolin Schlößer, LL.M., Researcher and Policy Adviser at the German Institute for Human Rights, for a keynote in our M.A. Governance and Human Rights:
Human Rights and Climate Change – Obligations and Challenges
Climate change has become a defining human rights challenge, raising urgent questions about the legal responsibilities of states and private actors. Following the International Court of Justice’s landmark Advisory Opinion of July 2025, these questions have gained even greater legal significance.
In her keynote, Dr. Schlößer will explore key issues at the intersection of human rights, climate action and international law:
• How do human rights obligations require states to address climate change?
• What happens when climate protection measures themselves interfere with human rights?
• What concrete legal obligations do private companies have regarding their CO₂ emissions?
