Abstract

The international community now places a high priority on the subject of climate change and its effects on human rights. The consequences of climate change, such as flooding, sea level rise, and extreme weather events, have a significant influence on Bangladesh. These effects have important ramifications for the country's ability to uphold human rights. With an emphasis on the idea of "Green Rights," this thesis investigates how human rights and environmental law connect in Bangladesh. Also, discuss the international law's involvement in resolving this matter as well. Also discuss the involvement of domestic law of Bangladesh. This thesis contends that recognizing Green Rights is essential for addressing Bangladesh's climate change challenges and safeguarding human rights in the country. The historical and legal framework of human rights and environmental law in Bangladesh, as well as the difficulties that have developed in combining these two areas of law, will be examined in this thesis. The idea of Green Rights is also explored, based on international human rights instruments. The thesis also looks at Green Right's possible effects on legal systems and the formulation of public policy in the context of Bangladesh. Overall, this thesis makes the case that acknowledging the Green Right is critical to resolving Bangladesh's problems with the environment and human rights.
