COLLABORATING ON CLIMATE CHANGE AT HRC 50
NHRIs have met with newly appointed Special Rapporteur on climate change to discuss areas of cooperation and introduced the work of the NHRI Caucus.
NHRIs play an important bridging role between the international and national levels. This makes them essential participants in an all-of-society effort to address the human rights consequences of climate change and climate action.
To support its members in this important effort, GANHRI is pleased to launch today, the Practical Guidance for NHRIs on Addressing Human Rights and Climate Change.
The Practical Guidance provides information about the work of international human rights mechanisms and how GANHRI members can engage with these mechanisms on climate change.
The publication developed by GANHRI with the support of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), is now available in English – and shortly in French and Spanish.
A summary of the guidance will also be available for all members on GANHRI’s website collecting the outcomes of the guidance and providing an overview of possible NHRI engagement at the international level in the protection and promotion of human rights in the context of climate change.
