53rd Session ofthe Human Rights Council Interactive Dialogue with the Independent Expert on International Solidarity

CIEL supports the draft declaration on the human right of international solidarity, noting its inclusion of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. The organization emphasizes the obligation of developed states to provide resources for climate-related loss and damage and the duty of all states to counter corporate influence and misinformation in environmental policymaking while protecting civic space for civil society and Indigenous Peoples.

• CIEL supports the revised draft declaration on the human right of international solidarity because it explicitly incorporates climate change and environmental degradation, addressing the 'triple planetary crisis' of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution.
• Developed states are identified as having an obligation to provide support and resources to countries vulnerable to climate change, which CIEL argues requires the operationalization of equitable funding arrangements, specifically a Loss and Damage Fund within the UN climate framework.
• All states are obligated to protect environmental policymaking from the undue influence of corporate actors and misinformation, while ensuring the safe participation of Indigenous Peoples and civil society organizations.
