As #COP30 opens in Brazil, States must ensure that human rights defenders are not sidelined. They are key stakeholders in climate action, yet too often obstructed or excluded from the process. To achieve a just transition, we need HRDs at the table.
Graphic featuring a quote by Mary Lawlor, UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights Defenders, about human rights defenders working to address climate change and achieve a just transition, which is the theme of her latest report to the UN. The quote reads: “Climate change is a global problem which States must come together to confront. The primary space created for this cooperation is the climate COP. Human rights defenders should be among the stakeholders participating in it, yet throughout the COP's history they have been systematically obstructed when trying to do so.” The image includes a photo of Mary Lawlor and mentions that her full report is available on www.srdefenders.org.

🌍 Climate change is a human rights crisis, and those defending our planet are human rights defenders. Instead of criminalising them, States should listen, engage and protect them.

⬇️ This visual summary of my #UNGA80 report shows what’s at stake:
Infographic titled “Human Rights Defenders, Climate Change and a Just Transition” — a visual summary of the report by the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders, presented to the 80th session of the UN General Assembly. At the top, a green banner reads the title. Below it, key messages appear in colour-coded boxes with illustrations: “Climate change is a human rights crisis” — text explains that changes in the atmosphere, ocean and biosphere are undermining the protection of human rights worldwide. Icons represent the rights to food, water, health, housing and life. Another box with an hourglass illustration states: “Action needs to be taken immediately.” Beside it, text says that every delay increases harm, especially for people already most affected by injustice. A note reads “Climate injustice is social injustice.” A section titled “Across the world, people are taking action” shows diverse defenders restoring ecosystems, defending forests, filing climate lawsuits and demanding a just transition. Text explains that people everywhere are calling on States to mitigate the effects of climate change and transition from fossil fuels, but “their calls have fallen on deaf ears.” A light purple box with a police officer in riot gear illustration reads “Around the world, they face Repression.” It explains that many climate activists face obstruction, repression and criminalisation to protect private interests and the unjust status quo. Another box reminds readers that these people are exercising their right to defend human rights, as guaranteed by the UN Declaration on Human Rights Defenders. At the bottom, a banner urges: “States must protect them, engage with them, stop criminalising them.” The footer provides a link to the full report: docs.un.org/en/A/80/114.
