The Institute for International Law and Justice is pleased to invite you to a discussion on Food Systems, Climate, and Human Rights, co-organised by NYU Law’s Food Impact Program and the University of Oxford’s Sustainable Law Programme.

The event will include Elisa Morgera, UN Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights in the context of climate change, in conversation with Philip Alston, John Norton Pomeroy Professor of Law at NYU School of Law and former UN Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights.

The discussion will explore the relationship between food systems, climate change, and human rights, drawing on the UN Special Rapporteur’s recent report. It will examine the legal and policy implications of transforming food systems to address the climate crisis while protecting human rights, including questions of corporate accountability, environmental sustainability, and social justice.
