Abstract
A positivist-oriented legal analysis of climate change and human rights shows that relevant theoretical and practical obstacles currently determine a divide between the two poles of the relationship. To a certain extent, climate change policies may already be interpreted as human rights measures, but only marginally can it be said that they are informed by fundamental claims. Key substantive and institutional issues hamper the possibility of tearing down the 'wall'.
