Safe Climate

September 2019 – Report on Safe Climate in relation to Human Rights for the United Nations. There is now global agreement that human rights norms apply to the full spectrum of environmental issues, including climate change. This report provides clarity regarding the substantive obligations relating to a range of elements that are essential to the enjoyment of a safe, clean, healthy and sustainable environment. It was developed by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the issue of human rights obligations relating to the enjoyment of a safe, clean, healthy and sustainable environment, David R. Boyd.
