Training Design & Delivery on the Topic of Human Rights & Climate Change
About the ASEMHRS Training
The ASEMHRS training is part of the Informal ASEM Seminar on Human Rights Series (ASEMHRS) which aims to promote greater cooperation and better understanding of human rights issues in Asia and Europe.
The training serves as a follow-up to the 21st Informal ASEM Seminar on “Human Rights & Climate Change”, which was held on 16-18 March 2022 in Luxembourg. The objectives of the training are to increase participants’ knowledge of the interlinks between human rights and climate change policy and how human rights obligations can support action to tackle climate change at the national, regional and international level.
