About this resource:

Greenpeace International, a partner of A4J, has created an excellent guide on how to bring a human rights-based climate change case against the government. It goes into detail on:

• Climate science you could use as evidence;
• How to identify enforceable human rights;
• Issues of admissibility (i.e. standing and justiciability);
• How you can prove a violation of your human rights; and
• How to develop a rights-based campaign strategy to complement your case.

If you want to find out more about bringing a human rights-based mitigation claim after reading this section, we recommend reading the Greenpeace Guide.
