SUMMARY:Panel 5: Invoking human rights in climate change cases against pr
 ivate actors\, such as companies 
DESCRIPTION:As the links between climate change\, protection of the envir
 onment and human rights are being expressly recognised at the internatio
 nal level\, there has been a proliferation of cases against states and g
 overnments using rights-based approaches to tackle inaction on climate c
 hange. International and regional human rights law is also being deploye
 d in litigation against corporates by claimants seeking to establish acc
 ountability for the harmful effects of climate change. This panel will h
 ighlight the driving force behind this emerging trend\, discuss the lega
 l bases of such claims and consider the likely trajectory of rights-base
 d arguments against corporates in the future.
