The Paris Agreement is a significant step for the promotion of human rights-based and people-centered climate action as it explicitly refers to States’ obligation to respect, promote and consider human rights protection when taking action to address climate change. (...) While States are the primary duty-bearers, we, as independent institutions of the State with a broad mandate and powers to promote and protect human rights, commit to playing an active role in promoting human rights-based climate action: National Policies / Commitments 5. We commit to contributing to climate action efforts in line with human rights obligations and principles of non-discrimination and participation, by reporting to and advising government bodies as well as other stakeholders on a human rights-based approach to climate mitigation and adaptation measures. 6. (...) We will ensure that human rights-based approach towards sustainable and effective climate action integrate the expertise of local communities and traditional knowledge of indigenous peoples.

ENHANCED LIMA WORK PROGRAMME ON GENDER AND ITS GENDER ACTION PLAN

The Danish Institute for Human Rights congratulates the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) on a comprehensive draft plan of action for the fourth phase (2020-2024) of the World Programme for Human Rights Education. (...) We note that despite strong encouragement in previous phases of the World Programme for Human Rights Education, many States still lack an overall National Action Plan for Human Rights Education. The Institute is thus concerned that requesting States to develop a comprehensive human rights education strategy for youth, as proposed in the current draft plan of Action, as opposed to building on existing strategies and plans and integrating youth concerns in National Action Plans for Human Rights Education, might side-line rather than strengthen human rights education and youth concerns. The Danish Institute for Human Rights therefore recommends that the final Action Plan is more flexible in this regard and focuses primarily on providing recommendations and guidance on how youth concerns can be better reflected in National Action Plans for Human Rights Education.
