COP28: 100+ civil society organisations call on UNFCCC & State parties to centre shared prosperity and corporate justice in climate action

BHRRC

Today, the Business & Human Rights Resource Centre, along with 101 organisations call on the UNFCC & State parties to centre shared prosperity and corporate justice in climate action. In an open letter addressed to the Secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and State parties, these diverse signatories are urging a resounding call to action at COP28.

The signatories represent a broad spectrum of concerns, from the human rights implications of mineral extraction and renewable energy projects, including the disproportionate risks faced by Indigenous Peoples, to safeguarding human rights defenders facing attacks. The letter urges climate action to ensure human rights and social protection, shared prosperity for workers and communities, and resource efficiency and demand reduction for raw materials consumption.
