The present study develops the draft of the "Guidelines for Integrating Human Rights Considerations into Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs)" and the "Operational Manuals for Integrating Human Rights Considerations into National Climate Change Adaptation Action Plans" as a reference for Taiwan to promote related climate mitigation and adaptation actions.
To this end, the study conducts domestic public analysis on climate change and human rights, and reviews 200 reports on climate and human rights. The proportion of domestic and foreign reports is equal. Overseas reprints foreign news, reports on the UN climate and human rights mechanism, human rights court news, etc.; domestically, it mostly reports on events such as the National Human Rights Museum, the National Action Plan on Business and Human Rights, and the National Human Rights Action Plan. Few clearly mentioned climate change and human rights issues.
To following the latest international developments, relevant resolutions and practices, the study reviews the six major International Bills of Human Rights related to climate change, the UN Human Rights Council (HRC) and the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR). For example, the right to life, the right to self-determination, the right to development, the right to health, the right to food, the right to water and sanitation, the right to adequate housing, and cultural rights related to climate change.
Considering the Guidelines and Operational Manuals are tools to connect with the international society, the study explains the changes in the framework and connotation of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and adaptation plans under the Paris Agreement, and scan the NDCs of 21 countries, National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) of 15 countries, National Adaptation Programmes of Action (NAPA) of 3 countries related to climate change and human rights, and adjustment information of Japan, Singapore, etc. to enrich the content of the study.
In order to enhance the discussions on Guidelines and Operational Manuals, and raise public awareness of climate change and human rights considerations, the study has held three expert consultation meetings and a webinar; and build the webpage (http://www.eqpf.org/cchr) with the agenda, webinar handbook, background information and six speech videos etc. as a resource for capacity building.
Regarding the human rights needs of vulnerable groups involved in climate action, the study suggests that before entering into the exact needs, priority should be given to strengthening the legal basis for human rights and improving the applicability of international human rights law in domestic administrative and judicial systems. Based on the domestic ratification or domestic legalization of the six major International Bills of Human Rights related to climate change and the national human rights action plan to encourage all sectors of governments to contribute.
For specific outcome, please refer to the important ideas and steps of the draft "Guidelines for Integrating Human Rights Considerations into Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs)" and the "Operational Manuals for Integrating Human Rights Considerations into National Climate Change Adaptation Action Plans" to cultivate "climate and human rights sensitivity" and "prominent" these considerations under the existing mitigation and adaptation planning framework to respond to the wave of integrating human rights into global climate governance.
