Delivering on the Paris Promise: Protecting Human Rights in Combating Climate Change: Recommendations for the Negotiation of the Paris Rule Book.

Recommendations for the Negotiations of the Paris Rule Book

The adoption and the rapid entry into force of the Paris Agreement constituted a significant step towards a global response to the climate crisis. The Paris Agreement establishes the first international framework that commits states to take steps to keep temperature increase below 1.5ºC, under which all states have agreed to take climate action on the basis of equity.

Significantly, the Paris Agreement also placed climate action in the context of efforts to achieve sustainable development, stressing the relationship between climate action and poverty eradication. It further reaffirms the need for governments to respect and promote human rights, including the rights of indigenous peoples, gender equality and the empowerment of women, the fundamental priority of safeguarding food security, the importance of public participation and access to information, the imperatives of a just transition and creation of decent work, and the importance of securing ecosystems integrity. The international community has long recognized that climate change poses a considerable threat to the realization of human rights, especially the rights of vulnerable people and local communities, and the rights of indigenous peoples.

Concretando las Promesas de París: Combatir el Cambio Climático Protegiendo Derechos

Recomendaciones para las Negociaciones del Libro de Reglas de París

La adopción y la rápida activación del Acuerdo de París constituyen un significativo avance hacia una respuesta global frente a la crisis climática. El Acuerdo de París establece el primer mecanismo internacional que compromete a los estados a mantener el incremento de la temperatura (global) por debajo de los 1.5 °C. Este mecanismo acuerda que todos los estados tomen acción climática basada en la equidad. De especial relevancia es el hecho que el Acuerdo de París pone en contexto los esfuerzos para lograr el desarrollo sostenible, haciendo hincapié sobre la relación entre la acción climática y la erradicación de la pobreza. Además, reafirma la necesidad que tienen los gobiernos de respetar y promover los derechos humanos, incluyendo por cierto los derechos de los pueblos indígenas, la igualdad de género y el empoderamiento de las mujeres, la prioridad fundamental de salvaguardar la seguridad alimentaria, la importancia de la participación ciudadana y el acceso a la información, los imperativos de una justa transición y creación de trabajo decente y la importancia de asegurar la integridad de los ecosistemas.
