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

This report argues that the effective implementation of the Paris Agreement depends on integrating human rights and social and environmental principles into the 'Paris Rulebook.' It emphasizes that climate action must respect the rights of indigenous peoples, ensure gender equality, safeguard food security, promote a just transition for workers, and maintain ecosystem integrity to ensure policy coherence and sustainable results.

• The Paris Agreement's preamble explicitly requires states to respect, promote, and consider their existing human rights obligations when addressing climate change. This includes specific protections for indigenous peoples, gender equality, women's empowerment, food security, public participation, a just transition, and the integrity of ecosystems.
• Gender inequalities restrict women and girls' access to education, resources, and decision-making spaces, making them disproportionately affected by climate change. The report advocates for gender-sensitive technological and financial mechanisms and the inclusion of women in the design and implementation of climate policies to ensure more sustainable results.
• Climate change threatens global food security, with 795 million people suffering from chronic hunger. The report warns that land management actions must not violate collective land rights or the right to food, and should not replace the urgent need to reduce fossil fuel emissions.
• Maintaining ecosystem integrity is critical for long-term climate adaptation and mitigation, as healthy ecosystems store carbon and provide natural defenses against floods and sea-level rise. Poorly planned responses in bioenergy and hydroelectricity are already degrading ecosystems and undermining livelihoods.
• To ensure the Paris Agreement's promises are met, the report recommends integrating human rights principles into four key elements of the Paris Rulebook: Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), Adaptation Communications, the Transparency Framework, and the Global Stocktake.
