study Human Rights and International Climate Politics Human Rights into Climate Actions After Paris: Opportunities for the UNFCCC, the Human Rights Institutions and the G-20 Sébastien Duyck, Yves Lador November 2016 n The Marrakesh Climate Conference(COP-22) must integrate human rights considerations across all relevant issues on the agenda. Firstly, the respect and promotion of these obligations should be included in the modalities of the commitment (Nationally Determined Contributions) and review cycles(transparency framework and periodic global stocktake) to promote holistic implementation of the agreement. Secondly, climate decision-makers should be supported by sharing expertise during events organised in the context of the climate negotiations and by leveraging the role of capacity building actions under the Climate Convention. n The Human Rights Council(HRC) should continue its efforts on climate change and pay attention to implementation of the Paris Agreement. Joint activities of the HRC with climate change bodies should be consolidated. All states must also incorporate the effects of climate change in the review of the 3rd cycle of the Universal Periodic Review which begins in 2017. UN Special Procedures’ work on climate change must be supported and a Special Procedure mandated to focus on climate change. n The G-20 summit in Hamburg under German presidency offers an opportunity to integrate human rights in climate-related work of the Group. While the G-20 is unlikely to address the promotion of human rights in climate action as a specific working area, it should consider how human rights considerations relate to the various issues already on its agenda.
