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

The document emphasizes that the Paris Agreement's success depends on a rights-based implementation framework. It identifies key principles from the Agreement's preamble—including indigenous rights, gender equality, food security, and a just transition—and provides specific recommendations for incorporating these into Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), Adaptation Communications, the Transparency Framework, and the Global Stocktake.

• The Paris Agreement's preamble explicitly requires states to "respetar, promover y considerar sus respectivas obligaciones en derechos humanos" when addressing climate change, which includes the rights of indigenous peoples, gender equality, food security, and a just transition.
• Women and girls are disproportionately affected by climate change due to gender inequities that limit their access to education, resources, and decision-making spaces.
• Climate change threatens global food security, with 795 million people suffering from chronic hunger and 159 million children under five being stunted; the document notes that the IPCC concludes climate change will impact all aspects of food security beyond just production.
• The integrity of ecosystems is vital for long-term climate effectiveness, as healthy ecosystems store carbon and provide natural defenses against floods and sea-level rise, whereas degraded ecosystems become sources of greenhouse gas emissions.
• To ensure coherence, Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) should be designed participatively and include specific information on how they promote human rights, food security, and ecosystem integrity.
• The Transparency Framework should expand beyond accounting for emissions and financial transfers to include reporting on how parties fulfill their existing human rights obligations in relation to climate actions.
