Luporini: Climate Change Adaptation, Disaster Risk Reduction and Human Rights in International Law

Riccardo Luporini (Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies) has published Climate Change Adaptation, Disaster Risk Reduction and Human Rights in International Law (Springer 2025). Here’s the abstract:

Climate change poses an escalating challenge to global society, with climate-related disasters becoming more frequent, severe and widespread in their impact on individuals and communities, and in their interference with human rights. To confront this challenge, States must not only mitigate climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions but also adopt comprehensive measures to adapt to its effects and manage climate change-related disaster risk. This book provides an in-depth analysis of the international legal frameworks governing climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction, focusing on the critical role of human rights in strengthening these frameworks and ensuring their implementation. The study explores the extent to which human rights have been integrated into international climate change and disaster law, examines how climate change-related disaster risk is addressed within international human rights law, and assesses the growing trend of human rights-based climate change and disaster litigation and its potential regulatory impact. The book offers a unique perspective on international lawmaking in the fields of climate change and disaster management while also shedding light on the ongoing development of human rights law as it seeks to address the unprecedented threats posed by climate change and its associated risks.
