51st Session of the Human Rights Council General Debate - Item 3, 21 September 2022

The statement emphasizes that National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs) are essential for ensuring that climate action and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development are implemented through a human rights lens, particularly regarding loss and damage and financial mechanisms.

• National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs) are critical for integrating human rights into the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and play a key role in the context of climate change, regardless of a country's vulnerability or capacity to provide assistance.
• NHRIs are well-positioned to help states address climate-induced loss and damage, which affects various human rights and disproportionately impacts vulnerable populations. Addressing this is essential for the implementation of multiple SDGs, including SDG1, SDG2, SDG3, SDG5, SDG6, SDG10, and SDG13.
