Call for Papers Symposium: Asian Yearbook of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law, 28 November 2025
Human Rights and the Green Transition: Ensuring Justice for All
The Editors of the Asian Yearbook of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law (Brill Nijhoff) invite submissions for their upcoming online symposium on “Human Rights and the Green Transition: Ensuring Justice for All” to be held on Friday 28 November 2025. As the global community accelerates efforts toward decarbonization and sustainability, the human rights implications of the green transition remain underexplored. This symposium seeks to examine the human rights challenges and opportunities that arise as societies phase out carbon-intensive industries, transition to renewable energy and adopt green technologies. The focus will be on both collective rights, such as the right to development, and individual socio-economic rights, including the right to housing, the right to work and the right to health – in particular of marginalized communities who may be disproportionately affected by the green transition measures.
We encourage submissions from scholars, practitioners and activists from diverse disciplines and geographical regions. Abstracts of no more than 250 words should be submitted by 15 September 2025 to the General Editor of the Yearbook, Prof. Dr. Matthias Vanhullebusch (email: matthias.vanhullebusch@uhasselt.be). Selected papers (8000-15000 words) will be considered for publication in a special issue in Vol. 10 of the Yearbook. Paper deadline: 31 January 2026.
