Intégration des droits humains dans les contributions déterminées au niveau national (CDN)

The document argues that climate action is most effective and legitimate when based on a human rights approach. It outlines a framework for integrating these rights into NDCs, focusing on scientific ambition, inclusive public participation, gender equality, the rights of indigenous peoples, land tenure, and a just transition for workers.

• The guide asserts that limiting global warming to 1.5°C is the target most aligned with state obligations to protect human life and health, as exceeding this threshold would lead to irreversible ecological tipping points.
• Effective NDC planning requires inclusive public participation from the earliest stages, ensuring that marginalized groups, including indigenous peoples and women, have access to information and meaningful ways to influence decisions.
• The document recommends that NDCs explicitly commit to the right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment, and prioritize the needs of those most vulnerable to climate impacts.
• Gender equality must be mainstreamed across all NDC policy areas, including the use of sex-disaggregated data and the implementation of gender-responsive climate financing and budgeting.
• The guide emphasizes that the rights of indigenous peoples, including their right to free, prior and informed consent (FPIC) regarding their lands and traditional knowledge, must be respected during NDC implementation.
• Securing community land tenure and the collective rights of indigenous peoples is presented as a cost-effective mitigation strategy that reduces deforestation and improves ecosystem resilience.
• A 'just transition' in NDCs requires protecting labor rights, promoting social dialogue between governments, employers, and unions, and providing retraining and social protection for workers in declining carbon-intensive industries.
