Climate change is not just an environmental crisis. It's a human rights emergency.
It is depriving communities of their right to life, shelter, food, and clean water, pushing them into a state of vulnerability and uncertainty.
Around the world, those suffering the most from climate crisis are not the ones most responsible for climate pollution
From droughts that devastate crops and livelihoods to extreme storms that displace entire communities, climate change is a human rights crisis that demands urgent action.
The climate crisis is robbing future generations of their right to a livable planet.
The voices of environmental defenders are vital in advocating for climate justice, yet they often face intimidation, harassment, and violence. By protecting their unwavering dedication and activism we can build a future that respects human rights and protects their environments and cultures.
Climate action must not violate human rights, and reduces rather than increases inequality. By taking decisive action to address the climate crisis, we can shape a future that is fair and just for all, where the rights and dignity of every person are respected and protected.
Governments and corporations have an obligation to protect people from harms caused by the climate crisis. They must be held accountable for the human rights harms related to climate change for which they are responsible.
Vulnerable communities must be safeguarded from climate-related disasters, and those disproportionately affected by climate change must receive the support and resources they need to adapt and thrive. Often it’s those who contribute the least to climate change that are most impacted.
