HUMAN RIGHTS ANALYSIS OF THE DOHA GATEWAY (UNFCCC 18TH CONFERENCE OF THE PARTIES)

The report evaluates the 'Doha Gateway' decisions from a human rights perspective, noting that while human rights are not explicitly mentioned in the Doha outcomes, they are referenced via the Cancun Agreements. The analysis covers mitigation ambition, loss and damage mechanisms, REDD+ safeguards, the Clean Development Mechanism's lack of appeals processes, public participation under Article 6, and the adoption of 'gender balance' over 'gender equality'.

• The decisions known as the Doha Gateway do not explicitly reference human rights, although they are included in the overall outcome for the 2012-20 period through references to the Cancun Agreements (Decision 1/CP.16).
• Current mitigation pledges are insufficient to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C or even below 2°C. While Parties adopted a second commitment period for the Kyoto Protocol (2013-2020), several countries like Canada, Japan, New Zealand, and Russia did not participate in this phase, and those that did failed to increase their targets.
