Climate change and human rights podcast

The Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission has launched an episode of its podcast series ‘Shared Goals’. This episode explores the topic of climate change and human rights and features an interview with  Ian Fry, the UN Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights in the context of climate change.

During the interview, Mr Fry commented: “The human rights implications of climate change are undoubtedly the greatest challenge facing humanity today. Even for a place like Northern Ireland, climate change will affect the lives of everyone, whether it be cost of food, energy or more severe weather events.”
