Sea Level Rise: Implications for Human Rights, Security, and Peace - Elisa Fornalé
What does sea level rise mean for human rights, security, and peace?
In the first episode of Book Briefs, our new series introducing new publications, hear from Prof. Dr. Elisa Fornalé of the World Trade Institute (WTI) at the University of Bern, editor of Sea Level Rise: Implications for Human Rights, Security, and Peace.
The discussion explores sea level rise not only as an environmental challenge, but also as a deeply human one: affecting communities, livelihoods, mobility, security, and the protection of fundamental rights.
Dr. Fornalé reflects on the importance of bringing together legal, political, and interdisciplinary perspectives to better understand these interconnected challenges and consider how institutions and societies can respond.
