Un guide della société civile DES CDN 2025 FONDÉES SUR LES DROITS HUMAINS
Summary
This guide from the Center for International Environmental Law provides civil society organizations (CSOs) with tools and strategies to ensure that the 2025 Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) are based on human rights. It outlines the nature of NDCs under the Paris Agreement and provides a framework for CSOs to engage governments, participate in planning, and hold states accountable for their climate commitments.
Key insights
- Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) are national plans that parties to the Paris Agreement must prepare and communicate every five years to show their contributions to global climate goals, reflecting their highest possible ambition and progress regarding climate ambition and equity. The next series of NDCs must be submitted by all Paris Agreement parties well before COP30.
- Integrating human rights into climate action is both a legal obligation for Paris Agreement parties—who must respect, protect, and consider human rights, gender equality, and just transition—and a matter of efficacy, as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has confirmed that human rights-based policies are the most effective form of climate action.
- The guide recommends four primary actions for civil society to influence NDCs: contacting governments to request human rights-based plans, exercising the right to participate in the drafting process, reviewing national NDCs for ambition and human rights alignment, and holding governments accountable for implementing promises through public action or legal means.
- To evaluate if an NDC is aligned with international climate objectives and human rights obligations, the guide suggests a 'Human Rights Scorecard' covering standards such as fossil fuel phase-out, participatory planning, gender justice, Indigenous Peoples' rights, land tenure, and the just transition.
