Climate Finance Toolkit

The document outlines the need for a substantial increase in climate finance for developing countries, arguing that current profit-driven practices often undermine human rights. It presents a toolkit intended for campaigners and state actors to identify intervention points for reforming the economic system and advocating for equitable, low-carbon development.

• Climate change and the policies used to mitigate it have significant human rights implications, with natural disasters causing displacement and illness, while mitigation projects like large-scale hydroelectric dams can force communities from their land and threaten subsistence.
• Current climate finance practices frequently fail to protect human rights because corporate agendas driven by profit are not aligned with these rights, and there is a lack of enforcement and consequences.
• Achieving a just transition to a low-carbon economy may require a complete overhaul of the economic system and a reform of the climate finance architecture.
