He called for the Human Rights Council to encourage countries, and provide them with technical support, when necessary, to accelerate legislative reforms and adopt effective public policies and climate programs, while ensuring that human rights are integrated into the core of these measures. He also called for the involvement of national human rights institutions in these efforts as essential partners, ensuring the participation of various stakeholders - including indigenous peoples and the most vulnerable groups, in formulating climate policies and making decisions, as well as assessing and reviewing their impacts, when necessary, in addition to enabling all affected parties and rights holders to access effective national redress mechanisms.
