Abstract
Melting glaciers, rising of sea levels, and changing weather patterns traceable to climate change increasingly affect day to day life of people all over the world. Obviously when the environment disturbs, humans disturb. Recent example is outbreak of Corona virus. The current crisis is not the real warning but it’s simply an alarm bell of what is coming. Climate change progressively interferes with fulfilment of fundamental rights as well as internationally recognized human rights including right to life which is most important fundamental right. In order to achieve the human rights, the importance of the environment is widely accepted at the international level. This paper scrutinizes the various ways that the environment is visualized in international human rights law and analyses the approach that a right to healthy environment is emerging. It recognized some of the issues which would need to be defeat before the grant of this right, including those which draw sequence of ecology and earth jurisprudence and the nexus between human rights and right to healthy environment in international is far from simple or straight forward.
