Implementation of the UNDROP at national and international level to combat climate change

HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL
51st session
(12 September-7 October 2022)

[Excerpt from the declaration]

The current climate crisis is increasingly affecting the rural areas and production of subsistence crops. The increase of severe drought, fires, floods, severely impacts living conditions and the right to work of peasants and other people working in rural areas. In this regard, LCV and its partners call the Human Rights Council and UN member states to protect the right to work in the rural areas and advance in the proper implementation of the UNDROP at national and international level through the creation of a follow-up mechanism.
