LES DROITS HUMAINS DANS LES CDN 2025 : À QUOI FAUT-IL FAIRE ATTENTION?

The document argues that human rights-based climate action is a legal obligation under the Paris Agreement and is more effective, as confirmed by the IPCC. It provides a comprehensive checklist for NDCs, emphasizing the need for a 1.5°C warming limit, the phase-out of fossil fuels, and the exclusion of carbon offsets and 'false technological solutions' like carbon capture and storage (CCS). The checklist details requirements for inclusive public participation, gender equality, the protection of indigenous peoples' rights—specifically free, prior and informed consent—and the implementation of a just transition. It also calls for debt-free international climate finance and robust monitoring systems that use disaggregated data by gender, age, and disability.

• Integrating human rights into NDCs is both a legal requirement for parties to the Paris Agreement and a means of increasing the effectiveness of climate policies, a point supported by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
• To align with international goals, NDCs should commit to a global emission reduction target limited to 1.5°C, include consumption-based emissions, and establish an urgent and equitable plan to phase out the production and use of fossil fuels, including the redirection of related subsidies.
• The document advises against the use of carbon offsets and specific technological interventions described as 'false solutions', namely carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and carbon capture and storage (CCS).
• NDCs must ensure the rights of indigenous peoples are protected according to international law, specifically the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), and guarantee their right to free, prior and informed consent during implementation.
• A just transition requires the protection of fundamental labor rights, the creation of decent quality jobs, and policies ensuring that climate transitions do not lead to human rights violations related to mining, whether domestically or abroad.
