İklim krizi, insan haklarını ihlal eden ve bu hakları doğrudan ya da dolaylı olarak etkileyen küresel bir çevre sorunudur. İklim krizinin insan hakları üzerindeki olumsuz etkilerini önlemek için devletlerin ayrım gözetmeksizin tüm insanların haklarına saygı gösterme, haklarını koruma ve teşvik etme yükümlülüğü vardır. İklim krizinin neden olduğu insan haklarına yönelik zararları önlenmesi hususunda gerekli ve yeterli önlemlerin alınmaması da bu yükümlülüğü ihlal eden bir unsurdur. İklim krizine ve bu krizin etkilerine karşı oluşturulan hak temelli yaklaşım iklim krizine karşı evrensel temel haklara dayalı bir müdahalenin yapılması gerektiğini savunur ve iklim krizinin temel haklara verdiği olumsuz etkileri mümkünse ortadan kaldırmayı hedef edinir. Çalışma bu kapsamda iklim rejimini oluşturan temel hukuki metinlerden yola çıkarak hak temelli yaklaşımın rolünü ve önemini ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada, insan hakları ve iklim krizi arasındaki ilişki ortaya konularak sorunla mücadelede hak temelli yaklaşımın önemi vurgulanmış ve her bir hakkın iklim değişikliğiyle mücadeleye önemli bir temel sağlayacağı öngörülmüştür. Çalışmada iklim krizine hak temelli yaklaşım temelinde bakmanın iklim rejiminin vazgeçilemez bir ilkesi olması gerektiği ve bu anlayışın iklim rejiminde daha iyi bir temele yerleştiği sonucuna varılmıştır.

Evaluation of the Human Rights Based Approach to Climate Crisis

Öz

Climate crisis is a global environmental problem that violates human rights directly or indirectly. In order to prevent the negative effects of the climate crisis on human rights, states have an obligation to respect, protect and promote the rights of all people without discrimination. Sufficient measures to prevent the harms to human rights caused by the climate crisis is another factor violates this obligation. The rights-based approach and universal fundamental rights should be made against the climate crisis and aims to eliminate the negative effects of the crisis on fundamental rights. In this context, the study aims to reveal the role of the rights-based approach based on the basic legal texts that make up the climate regime. In the study, the relationship between human rights and the climate crisis was revealed and it was predicted that each right would provide an important basis for the fight against climate change. It has been concluded that the climate crisis on the basis of a rights-based approach should be an indispensable principle of the climate regime. This understanding is placed on a better basis in the climate regime.
