Summary
This paper places attention on the role of environmental human rights defenders (EHRDs) and indigenous peoples who have been playing a crucial role in opposing development projects threatening the environment, while also being exposed to ill-informed adaptation and mitigation measures; on national human rights institutions which hold immense potential in linking the human rights and climate change agendas; and on the youth who propel the movement forward in Thailand, combining creativity and knowledge.
