Abstract

The inclusion of references to human rights in the Paris Agreement was celebrated as a milestone towards greater integration of human rights in environmental and climate governance. Beyond their symbolic value, the significance of these provisions however depends on the extent to which they inform the implementation of the Paris Agreement both at the national and international levels. This article takes stock of the integration of human rights in climate governance and identifies concrete opportunities to ensure that human rights considerations are included in the Paris Implementation Guidelines to be adopted at COP-24, promoting climate action that aligns with Parties' human rights obligations. We first consider the relevance of human rights to climate action and the incremental recognition of these linkages in the international climate regime - both in the lead up to the adoption of the Paris Agreement and since. We then consider in specific terms how human rights could inform five key dimensions of the Paris Agreement's Implementation Guidelines: NDC guidance, adaptation communications, transparency framework, global stocktake, and the article 6 mechanisms. This article will reflect on past experience of how climate policy impacts human rights and on proposals put forward in the context of the negotiations of the implementation guidelines. It concludes with recommendations on a right-based approach to the implementation of the Paris Agreement.
人权与《巴黎协定》的执行准则:发展基于权利方法的机会
在《巴黎协定》中提及人权被视为将人权进一步纳入环境和气候治理的一个里程碑。然而,除了其象征性价值外,这些条款的重要性还取决于它们在多大程度上为国家和国际层面执行《巴黎协定》提供信息。本条评估了将人权纳入气候治理的情况,并确定了确保将人权考虑纳入将在第二十四届缔约方大会上通过的《巴黎执行指南》的具体机会,以促进符合缔约方人权义务的气候行动。我们首先考虑人权与气候行动的相关性,以及在《巴黎协定》通过之前和之后国际气候制度中对这些联系的逐步承认。然后,我们具体考虑人权如何为《巴黎协定》执行准则的五个关键方面提供信息:国家数据中心指导、适应信息通报、透明度框架、全球评估和第6条机制。这篇文章将回顾过去气候政策如何影响人权的经验,以及在执行准则谈判中提出的建议。报告最后就以基于权利的方式执行《巴黎协定》提出了建议。
