[Claudio Schuftan]

From: HSPH-HHRJOURNAL HHRJOURNAL at hsph.harvard.edu


It is with much excitement that we announce the launch of Issue 16.1 of the
FXB Center’s *Health and Human Rights Journal <http://www.hhrjournal.org/>*
with a special section on climate justice and the right to health. Paul
Farmer, editor-in-chief notes in the editorial,
<http://www.hhrjournal.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2014/06/Editorial.pdf>
that Issue 16.1 employs a human rights perspective to address the health
risks that arise from the thus far unabated effects of climate change.
Farmer calls on governments to acknowledge the scientific evidence of
climate change and actively engage in climate change mitigation efforts
with transparency and accountability. In her *foreword*
<http://www.hhrjournal.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2014/06/Robinson1.pdf>,
Mary Robinson congratulates the authors for proposing a range of
interdisciplinary solutions toward ameliorating the predicted ramifications
of climate change on health and human rights.
