When asked about the current practice of including climate change perspectives in their
investigation, two NHRIs (Maldives, India) said they always include these considerations, while
the rest of the NHRIs said that they do sometimes (Figure 4). On the question of how often
the NHRI report and advise the government and other stakeholders on a human rights-based
approach to CCMA measures, two NHRIs (India, Bangladesh) indicated they do this regularly,
while another two (Nepal, Pakistan) reported occasionally, and the remainder (Maldives, Sri
Lanka) reported they rarely do (Figure 5).
