Call for Inputs: Climate Justice and Human Rights

The Office of the Special Rapporteurship on Economic, Social, Cultural and Environmental Rights (REDESCA) of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) calls to National Human Rights Institutions, civil society organizations and other interested actors in the region to submit written contributions regarding the challenges, good practices and measures adopted or promoted in response to the climate emergency from an environmental and climate justice perspective.

This call aims to gather relevant inputs on successful experiences, achievements, and lessons learned, as well as to identify replicable models that can be used to strengthen public policies and collective actions on climate justice and human rights. Contributions may also address the disproportionate effects of the climate crisis on vulnerable populations, including indigenous people, Afro-descendants, women, children, and coastal communities.

Detailed contributions are welcomed, including information on policy measures, community projects, strategic litigation, awareness campaigns and any other efforts related to the protection of human rights in the context of the climate crisis.

Deadline to respond: 04 October 2024 until 23:59 EST.

Send responses to: [email protected], and include in the subject line of the email: “Call for Contributions- Climate Justice and Human Rights”.
