In this contribution, we explore how human health can be protected from climate change and its adverse effects by reliance on States' obligations under international law. We achieved this by reviewing the principal legal instruments that establish the right to health, as well as those that recognize that climate change has an adverse impact on health (Part II). We then examine the means of redress that may be available to those whose human right to health has been interfered with or violated because of climate change (Part III). Finally, we draw some conclusions as to the current effectiveness and future direction of these developments.
在本论文中，我们探讨如何依靠各国根据国际法承担的义务来保护人类健康免受气候变化及其不利影响。我们通过审视确立健康权的主要法律文书以及那些承认气候变化对健康有不利影响的文书来实现这一目标（第二部分）。然后，我们研究对于那些因气候变化而其健康权受到干涉或侵犯的人可能适用的补救手段（第三部分）。最后，我们就这些发展的当前成效和未来方向得出一些结论。
