50th Session of the Human Rights Council Interactive Dialogue with the Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights in the context of climate change

The Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) urges the Special Rapporteur on human rights and climate change to prioritize the voices of frontline communities and investigate human rights harms related to loss and damage, intergenerational justice, and the risks of geoengineering. CIEL specifically calls for a systematic examination of human rights violations linked to the fossil fuel industry and the impact of climate policies on land and tenure rights.

• CIEL encourages the Special Rapporteur to focus on human rights harms resulting from loss and damage, specifically requesting recommendations on enhancing financial support for redress and addressing non-economic losses, including threats to land and cultural rights.
• The organization calls for an investigation into the human rights implications of 'false solutions' to climate change, such as geoengineering, and urges the Special Rapporteur to examine human rights violations stemming from the financing, extraction, export, and use of fossil fuels.
