International human rights law (IHRL) offers potential responses to the consequences of climate change. However, the focus of IHRL on territorial jurisdiction and the causation-based allocation of obligations does not match the global nature of climate change impacts and their indirect causation. The primary aim of this article is to respond to the jurisdictional challenge of IHRL in the context of climate change, including its indirect, slow-onset consequences such as climate change migration. It does so by suggesting a departure from (extra)territoriality and an embrace of global international cooperation obligations in IHRL. The notion of common concern of humankind (CCH) in international environmental law offers conceptual inspiration for the manner in which burden sharing between states may facilitate international cooperation in response to global problems. Such a reconfiguration of the jurisdictional tenets of IHRL is central to enabling a meaningful human rights response to the harmful consequences of climate change.

通过国际人权法应对气候变化:从(外)属地性到人类共同关注

国际人权法 (IHRL) 提供了对气候变化后果的潜在反应。然而,国际人权法对属地管辖权和基于因果关系的义务分配的关注与气候变化影响的全球性质及其间接因果关系并不匹配。本文的主要目的是应对 IHRL 在气候变化背景下的管辖挑战,包括其间接的、缓慢发生的后果,例如气候变化迁移。它通过建议脱离(域外)领土和接受国际人权法中的全球国际合作义务来做到这一点。国际环境法中的人类共同关注(CCH)概念为国家间分担责任的方式提供了概念上的启发,以促进国际合作以应对全球问题。对国际人权法的管辖原则进行这种重新配置,对于对气候变化的有害后果做出有意义的人权反应至关重要。
