With the acceleration of climate change comes profound implications for the environment and for human rights. The World Bank forecasts that by 2050, a staggering 216 million individuals will be internally displaced due to climate factors, escalating their vulnerability to human trafficking and modern slavery. In this session we look to:
Define a 'Just Transition': Decode its significance in the climate-human rights nexus
Look at best practices for embedding human rights within climate strategy
Discuss how to engage all stakeholders to ensure meaningful representation in mitigation and adaptation strategies
Give real-world examples of businesses championing a balanced approach to climate action and human rights
