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

The Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) submitted a statement to the 53rd Session of the Human Rights Council supporting the revised draft declaration on the human right of international solidarity, specifically praising the inclusion of climate change and environmental degradation.

• CIEL supports the revised draft declaration on the human right of international solidarity because it explicitly includes climate change and environmental degradation, and contains principles necessary to address the 'triple planetary crisis' consisting of pollution, biodiversity loss, and climate change.
• The statement asserts that developed States are obligated to provide support and adequate resources to countries vulnerable to climate change to address foreseeable and mounting climate-related loss and damage, which CIEL links to the need for equitable funding arrangements and the operationalization of a Loss and Damage Fund within the UN climate framework.
• CIEL emphasizes that all States are obligated to protect civic space by ensuring the meaningful and safe participation of Indigenous Peoples and civil society organizations at international, regional, and national levels, while countering misinformation and the undue influence of corporate actors in governance and environmental policymaking.
