Needs Assessment and Gap Analysis of the National Human Rights Institutions in South Asia 46 area indicates a need for further development to enhance collaborative efforts at the community level. Overall, common thematic issues across these six countries include the recognition of the need for coordinated approaches and the importance of collaboration to address the multifaceted challenges posed by climate change. Each NHRI’s commitment to enhancing partnerships and fostering engagement underscores the necessity of integrating human rights considerations into climate action. While there are varying degrees of progress and collaboration among the NHRIs, the collective experiences highlight a pressing need for strengthened partnerships. Building effective networks at local, national, and international levels will be crucial for successfully addressing the human rights dimensions of climate change and ensuring that vulnerable populations are adequately protected and empowered in the face of climate challenges. G. Coordinated Approaches and Collaboration The survey data and interviews unequivocally indicate the need for all six NHRIs to further develop their knowledge and capacity in the area of human rights dimensions of CCMA initiatives, especially in the area of human mobility (Figure 24). The examination of capacity gaps and future needs across the targeted NHRIs reveals a common recognition of the challenges posed by climate change and its implications for human rights. Each NHRI faces distinct yet interconnected barriers that hinder their ability to effectively engage in CCMA. Addressing these gaps is essential for strengthening their contributions to climate action and safeguarding human rights in vulnerable populations.
