“…The UDHR adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10, 1948, is a landmark document for its support by all member states of the UN and for its comprehensive outline of 30 articles of the fundamental rights of every individual around the world in terms of dignity, education, freedom, free choice, liberty, life, recognition, participation, protection, and survival. The declaration has been subsequently translated into over 500 languages and recognizes two broad forms of rights: participation rights (also called self‐determination rights and freedoms) and protection rights (also called nurturance rights; Levy, Migacheva, et al., 2022; Rubin & Flores, 2020; Ruck & Horn, 2008; Ruck et al., 2016; Viviers & Lombard, 2013).…”

“…Climate or environmental justice issues reflect both distributive justice (distribution of environmental burdens [EBs]) and procedural justice (participation in environmental issues; Clayton, 1994;Opotow & Clayton, 1994). These two justice principles are well-aligned with two of the main recognized international human rights, which focus on the right to protection (from environmental harms) and the right to participation (in environmental issues; Levy, Migacheva, et al, 2022;Rubin & Flores, 2020;Ruck & Horn, 2008;Ruck et al, 2016;Toussaint & Martínez Blanco, 2020;Viviers & Lombard, 2013).…”

The climate crisis threatens and violates human rights to development, education, food, health, housing, life, meaningful and informed participation, self‐determination, and water. Climate injustices refer to how some communities are shouldering the disproportionate brunt of the negative effects of climate change while being the least responsible. With a human rights‐based approach focused on protection and participation rights, this paper reviews climate injustices based on age, disability, ethnicity, gender identity, geography, income, Indigenous identity, migratory status, race, refugee and internally displaced status, and their intersections. Policy recommendations include increasing climate education, utilizing disaggregated data, and expanding mental health services. Cross‐cutting themes throughout the paper are that climate change is interconnected with other crises, thereby compounding inequalities, and that a diversity of interdisciplinary and international perspectives and knowledge centered on the voices of frontline communities are essential for addressing the climate crisis.

“…Over the last few years, a number of formative publications have drawn attention to human rights issues in psychology, psychological issues in human rights, and the need for increased attention and education about the intersection of psychology and human rights (e.g., Hagenaars et al, 2020; Rubin & Flores, 2020). Professional organisations have begun to incorporate human rights perspectives into their deliberations and policies (see, e.g., APA Task Force on Human Rights, 2021; Söderström et al, 2017), and a global Network of Psychologists for Human Rights (http://www.humanrightspsychology.org) was formed to further the discussion of the intersection between human rights and psychology.…”
