This paper reviews the action taken by the UN Human Rights Council (HRC) on human rights impacts of climate change, as well as mitigation and adaptation measures. The overview shall help decision makers in the fields of climate change and human rights and facilitate integration and coherence between the two debates. The first section presents the resolutions and ensuing reports and discussions of the HRC. Section two discusses the principles identified in those resolutions and actions, while a third section goes into detail on actions, reports and statements of Special Procedure mandate holders addressing climate change, resulting in their urgent call to the UNFCCC Parties who �shall, in all climate change related actions, respect, protect, promote, and fulfill human rights for all.�
