La Integración de los Derechos Humanos en las Contribuciones Determinadas a Nivel Nacional (CDN)

A professional toolkit by CIEL and OHCHR providing a framework for integrating human rights into Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). It emphasizes that climate ambition must be science-based to protect human rights, requires inclusive participation of marginalized groups, and advocates for a just transition for workers and the protection of indigenous land rights.

• The document argues that limiting global warming to 1.5°C is a human rights imperative, as current warming levels are already incompatible with state obligations to respect and protect human rights. It asserts that states must adopt the highest possible ambition in their NDCs to prevent irreversible ecological tipping points.
• Human rights obligations require states to be accountable for all greenhouse gas emissions under their jurisdiction or control, including both public and private sources and emissions occurring outside their territory (such as those from exported fossil fuels), regardless of whether these are counted in standard UNFCCC terrestrial accounting.
• Effective NDC planning must be based on inclusive public participation, access to information, and the right to justice. The toolkit recommends that participation occur in the early stages of planning when all options are open and that states provide clear explanations of how public input influenced final decisions.
