Learning study on the relationship between environmental degradation, climate change and human rights

About the project

Within the framework of USAID’s Inspirapaz programme, this project aims to design and carry out a learning study on the relationship between environmental degradation, climate change and human rights. This involves five stages, starting with an understanding of the meaning and depth of these relationships through a documentary review and analysis, which is complemented by a validation process with primary sources and targeting. This will result in a training module to strengthen the knowledge and capacities of individuals, communities or civil society organisations in adaptating to climate change as a measure of self-protection or collective protection. The documentary review allows for the identification of key variables and dimensions for the targeting of two sub-regions, where a case study will be developed to contextualise and deepen the relevant contents for the training processes. These municipalities were Tibú in Norte de Santander and San Vicente del Caguán in Caquetá. In addition to investigating the relationship between these variables, the learning study seeks to contribute to institutional and social organisations’ mechanisms for protection and self-protection in the face of vulnerability to climate change in a context of armed conflict.
