Professor Bennoune discusses climate change and cultural rights

At a crowded lunchtime lecture, Professor Al Lin provided the international background on climate change before introducing Professor Karima Bennoune. As the United Nations Special Rapporteur in the field of cultural rights, Professor Bennoune talked about her role with the UN and lectured on Cultural Rights and Climate Change to the UC Davis School of Law community. She discussed climate change as a human rights issue and examined how climate change affects cultural rights.

The standing-room only audience had the pleasure of learning from a United Nations official!
