In advance of the UNGA 77, we responded to the the OHCHR’s call for input on the “Promotion and protection of human rights in the context of mitigation, adaptation, and financial actions to address climate change, with particular emphasis on loss and damage.” 

We highlighted the important role of the UN’s International Maritime Organization (IMO), which must adopt stringent global measures to phase out the sector’s GHG emissions in line with the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C goal. These measures include the use of a revenue-generating GHG / carbon pricing mechanism, with a portion of the funds being allocated to developing countries, particularly Small Island Developing States (SIDS) and Least Developed Countries (LDCs).
