Climate Change and Peatland Rehabilitation: Implications for cultural rights and practices in Ireland (WetFutures Contribution)

For her 2020 thematic report to the General Assembly, the Special Rapporteur addressed the cultural and cultural rights dimensions of the current climate emergency, which have too often been overlooked. In it, the Special Rapporteur considers the negative impacts of climate change on human cultures and on the enjoyment of cultural rights, and the positive potential of cultures and the exercise of cultural rights to serve as critical tools in responding to the climate emergency.
