Third Annual Symposium:
The Confluence of Human Rights and the Environment

February 2009

The scope and scale of environmental problems worldwide have increased in recent years. Are traditional, legislation-based approaches adequate to reflect the interests of stakeholders and to address these problems successfully? Do rights-based approaches have something to contribute, either in dialogue or in jurisprudence? This year’s symposium seeks to identify ways in which human rights theory may be relevant to environmental threats faced by civilizations around the globe.
