Alphaeus' research focus on the intersection of climate change and human rights. With a keen interest in addressing the pressing challenges posed by climate change, his research attempts to explore the intricate relationship between international human rights law and domestic climate change legislation and policies.

The research also looks to bridge the gap between international legal norms and national climate action by examining how principles enshrined in International Human Rights Law can inspire and inform the future design of domestic legal frameworks. By finding and addressing existing gaps in climate change action at the national level, Alphaeus aims to contribute to the development of more effective and robust legal mechanisms for combating climate change and promoting climate justice.

In pursuit of this goal, Alphaeus' study explores the ways in which experiences from climate change-related disasters can shape and inform the development of a constitutional legal framework that not only protects human rights but also advances the cause of climate justice. By examining real-world experiences and drawing lessons from past climate-related disasters, Alphaeus aims to provide valuable insights and recommendations for the formulation of legal policies and strategies that prioritize both human rights and environmental sustainability. Through rigorous analysis and thoughtful inquiry, he seek to advocate for legal reforms and policies that uphold the rights of individuals and communities while promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all.
