Abstract: Climate change is one of the most critical issues that, in recent years, has garnered significant attention within the fields of law and international relations. This issue has a strong and intricate connection with various legal and political domains. The objective of the present study, conducted using a descriptive-analytical method and based on library research tools, is to explain the status of human rights norms concerning climate change and the right to education. The findings of this research indicate that the existing norms have mostly been adopted in the form of non-binding instruments and soft law documents. Moreover, the breadth of these norms has led to their deep interconnection. The results of the study demonstrate that although climate change is primarily an environmental law issue, it directly and indirectly affects the right to education. This condition reveals that the international human rights legal system is experiencing significant fragmentation and expansion; within this context, a dual tendency toward unity amidst the plurality of human rights norms is evident.
