As #COP30 opens in Brazil, States must ensure that human rights defenders are not sidelined. They are key stakeholders in climate action, yet too often obstructed or excluded from the process. To achieve a just transition, we need HRDs at the table.

🌍 Climate change is a human rights crisis, and those defending our planet are human rights defenders. Instead of criminalising them, States should listen, engage and protect them. ⬇️ This visual summary of my #UNGA80 report shows what’s at stake:

“To succeed #JustTransition, we need to see it, name it and understand it.” Benjamin Schachter of UN Human Rights urges to rethink human beings' relationship with nature & build an all-of-society movement — ending fossil fuel subsidies, ensuring accountability & protecting #R2E.

Danilo Garrido Alves of @greenpeace.org highlights the trend of strategic litigation on #ClimateAction is taking place in parallel with a trend of repression of climate action. Yet, he stresses climate action can still take place if these are strategically countered.

Maria Diamantopoulou shares contributions of @coe.int in env't protection, rule of law & democracy through the Strategy on Environment (2025–2030) recognizing right to #HealthyEnvironment, Convention on Protection of the Env't through Criminal Law & the jurisprudence of @echr.coe.int.

Chris Mburu of UN Human Rights presents the context against which the African Court of Human and Peoples' Rights has been requested to provide an Advisory Opinion on states' obligations related to #ClimateChange & shares hope about a good result given the already visible impacts.

With the ASEAN Declaration on Right to #HealthyEnvironment to be adopted soon, Suraya Ahmad Pauzi, #Malaysia DPR, underscores key commitments: enforcement of env't law, transparent & inclusive EIA, due diligence, protection of #IndigenousPeoples, #EHRDs & vulnerable communities.

Liliana Ávila of AIDA underscores the landmark importance of the Inter-American Court of #HumanRights Advisory Opinion on climate change, which makes clear: the way out of the climate emergency is through more democracy, not less.

"Accountability is the bridge between words and justice." H.E. Amb. Sumbue Antas of #Vanuatu highlights how Vanuatu is turning the #ICJAO -- a foundation for real accountability, especially for major polluters whose actions & inaction cause global harm -- into legal action.

On Day 2⃣ of the UN Forum, a panel discussion on legal clarity, democratic defence, and creativity will explore how courts and regional mechanisms are addressing the challenges of #climatechange. ▶️ genevaenvironmentnetwork.org/events/fifth... 📺 webtv.un.org/en/asset/k19...

What an opportunity to combine the experience of the #GlobalEthicalStocktake with intergenerational dialogue at @ungeneva.bsky.social Inspired by what I learnt from the One Ocean Hub & Empatheatre use of #art-based participatory approaches at #Climate #COP: unfccc.int/event/lalela...

Throughout the #GlobalEthicalStocktake, various illustrations were shared that portrays the thoughts and emotions, following the reflections made during the event.

#Live now! This #GENeva #GlobalEthicalStocktake, in the margins of the UN Forum, brings together reflections from diverse voices for an ethical dialogue on the climate crisis ahead of #COP30noBrasil. #MutiraoCOP30 #BalancoEticoGlobal ▶️ tiny.cc/GEN14Oct25GES

Inviting everyone to speak, draw, use their creativity to express and share what climate action should be like, @unsrclimatehrights.bsky.social Elisa Morgera facilitates a #GlobalEthicalStocktake that aims to have a different conversation about climate and democracy.

Day 2⃣ of the UN Forum continues this afternoon with a powerful panel on “Interconnected solutions for interconnected problems.” ▶ genevaenvironmentnetwork.org/events/fifth... 📺 webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1g...

This week, I will present my report on #HumanRights #Energy #JustTransition #Renewables #CriticalMinerals at the UN General Assembly on Friday 17th Oct at 3-5pm with @astridpuentes.bsky.social who presents on #EIAs 📺 webtv.un.org/en 📘 report tinyurl.com/3tc87w73 📍 summary tinyurl.com/pvv5bczk

Sheryl Lightfoot of the EM on the rights of #IndigenousPeoples calls for full respect of Indigenous rights in the so-called renewable transition. States & companies must uphold #FPIC and ensure Indigenous Peoples don’t bear its social or environmental costs.

Consult the highlights of the first panel on Day 2⃣ on "Legal clarity, democratic defence, and creativity".

As part of awareNearth’s initiative in the margins of the Forum, artist Clément Covizzi continues coloring the planet at Place des Nations — a living artwork gathering emotions in the face of interconnected crises.

On Day 1⃣ of the UN Forum on #HumanRights, Democracy & Rule of Law, the first panel will conduct a foresight exercise on #climatechange in a rule of law(less) context & presentations of anticipated possible futures. ▶️ www.genevaenvironmentnetwork.org/events/fifth... 📹 webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1q...

"The path forward must also harness the strength of democracy." UN Human Rights Council President H.E. Amb. Jürg Lauber underscores the need to ensure that our response to #ClimateAction is human rights-centered, as addressing climate change is not only a moral imperative, but a democratic one.
