Recommendation 3: Develop a set of guidelines and/or manuals on monitoring,
investigating and advocacy related to climate change impact on human rights,
which align with the broad NHRI mandates.
Priority:
High
Feasibility:
High
Timeframe:
Short-term
(1 to 6 months)
Specialised tools can be developed through an external
consultant, in consultation with the NHRIs, and based on the
good practices of NHRIs in other regions.
Policy Context:
Strengthening NHRIs practice in monitoring, investigating,
and advocacy related to climate change impact on human
rights through standardised guidelines and tools can be
useful in aligning them with national level CCMA and disaster
management policies and practices. This can also be useful in
strengthening data sharing protocols with relevant government
agencies.
Expected Impact:
Enhanced ability to conduct detailed monitoring and
assessments of climate impacts, enabling NHRIs to provide
evidence-based recommendations to governments.
