Loss and Damage and Human Rights

Through our collective work on loss and damage, we strive to ensure that human rights are respected, protected, and fulfilled in the context of climate-related harm. We recognize that historically oppressed and subjugated individuals and groups are disproportionately affected by the severe undermining of various human rights, including life, food, water, housing, health, education, a healthy environment, and cultural life. By strengthening approaches to address loss and damage grounded in human rights, we aim to create a more just and equitable future for all.
