The Right to Be Cold: Examining the Indigenous Peoples’ Rights and Climate Change
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The reality of climate change and its adverse implication on the human and environmental rights of the Inuit is no longer in doubt. The observed impacts of climate change in the Arctic region confirm that the change in climate has violated the fundamental human rights of the Inuit inhabiting the Arctic region, the integrity of the Arctic ecosystem, and also the environmental “right to be cold”. Emissions of greenhouse gases primarily due to human activities have contributed monumentally to climate change, and these emissions have, over the years, been encouraged by the actions or inactions of States. The principle that “where there is a right, there is a remedy” prompts the search for legal remedies within the international human rights system to address the impacts of climate change on the Inuit and the Arctic region. This thesis addresses the legal and regulatory framework that can be adopted to address the impact of climate change on Northern Indigenous peoples. The question of whether current global regimes on climate change provide an effective mechanism for the Peoples of the Arctic to seek redress to defend their culture and way of life is also addressed. This thesis argues that the Inuit may find an effective mechanism to seek redress within the existing United Nations and Inter-American human rights systems.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
