The Human Rights Conundrum: Climate Change Interventions as Both Problem and Solution

Join the UI College of Law, The Journal of Gender, Race & Justice (JGRJ) and Transnational Law and Contemporary Problems (TLCP) for discussions on the human rights implications of voluntary carbon markets and emerging geoengineering technologies developed to combat the climate crisis.

Panelists will explore the pragmatic implications of these approaches, as well as possible regulatory frameworks, nationally and internationally. Throughout these discussions, we will center global Indigenous voices speaking on self-determination and knowledge systems which are foundational to any discussion of climate action.

Sessions include:

• Is This a Good Idea?: Pragmatic Examination of Developing Geoengineering Technologies Through a Human Rights Lens
• Assuming Arguendo: Regulatory Frameworks for Emerging Geoengineering Technologies Here and Abroad
• Global Indigenous Self-Determination in Climate Action
• Human Rights Implications of International Voluntary Carbon Markets
