DERECHOS HUMANOS EN LAS NDC DE 2025: QUÉ HAY QUE TENER EN CUENTA?

The document argues that human rights-based climate action is more effective and a legal obligation for all Parties to the Paris Agreement. It provides a comprehensive checklist for the preparation and evaluation of NDCs, covering mitigation ambition, participatory planning, gender justice, indigenous rights, just transition, adaptation, and accountability mechanisms.

• Integrating human rights into NDCs is both a legal obligation for Paris Agreement Parties and a means of increasing policy effectiveness by strengthening community participation and public support, as reported by the IPCC.
• To align with international climate goals and human rights, NDCs should include a global emission reduction target consistent with limiting warming to 1.5°C, a plan for the urgent and equitable phase-out of fossil fuel production and use, and the removal of fossil fuel subsidies.
• NDCs must avoid reliance on carbon offsets and 'false technological solutions' such as Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR).
• Effective NDCs require inclusive planning and implementation that specifically involves indigenous peoples, traditional knowledge holders, and vulnerable groups, including women, youth, children, persons with disabilities, peasants, migrants, and people in poverty.
• A human rights-aligned NDC should incorporate gender justice through gender-sensitive climate financing, budgets, and the integration of unpaid care work into Just Transition policies.
• The document emphasizes the need for a Just Transition that protects fundamental labor rights, creates decent work, and ensures that climate transitions do not lead to human rights violations in sectors like mining.
• Accountability and financial frameworks should include debt-free international climate finance for mitigation, adaptation, and loss and damage, alongside a monitoring system using data disaggregated by sex, age, and disability.
