In order to guarantee that the protection of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) remains effective, we might have to acknowledge that climate change also poses a threat to the rights protected under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). Although the ECtHR has not yet explicitly developed case law on climate change-related cases, this Article discusses the applicability and suitability of the ECtHR in protecting the rights of individuals against the implications of climate change.enAll Rights Reserved.Environmental protectionInternational lawClimate changeHuman rightsArticle
