Among other initiatives, they plan to pursue more concerted climate litigation efforts, target the financial sector\u2019s funding of fossil fuels, make more effective use of human rights accountability mechanisms, and coordinate more mass mobilization campaigns at national and regional levels. They also expect to agree on the implementation of a set of related action plans in the following months.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Peoples\u2019 Summit was organized by the United Nations Human Rights Office, Greenpeace International, Amnesty International, Center for International Environmental Law, Wallace Global Fund, and the New York University School of Law Center for Human Rights and Global Justice. The event is taking place on September 18 and 19, ahead of the United Nations Secretary General\u2019s Climate Action Summit.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><b>Craig Mokhiber, New York Office Director at the United Nations Human Rights Office, said:<\/b><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFor those on the frontlines, climate change is already eroding the rights to food, water and sanitation, decent shelter, health, personal security, and even life itself. Many on small island states, in coastal communities, and in areas subject to creeping desertification are watching their right to self-determination slip away. Large-scale climate displacement threatens to force millions to undertake journeys of vulnerability and uncertainty. Ultimately, the adverse effects of climate change tear at the very fabric of human society. Every country must take urgent and meaningful action to address this threat to human rights. By bringing together the many strands of the climate justice movement, we seek to mobilize transformative, rights-based and inclusive climate action now.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><b>Jennifer Morgan, International Executive Director at Greenpeace International, said:<\/b><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;The climate crisis is a human rights crisis. The human consequences of extreme weather disasters can be staggering, as we can see by the profound devastation and destruction left in the wake of Hurricane Dorian.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This declaration marks a new era of climate activism. Lead by the youth and together with our allies, we will all take action and confront those responsible. Weak governments and toxic corporate power will have nowhere to hide as we put people at the center of our demands, and seek climate justice for the communities least responsible but most vulnerable to this climate emergency.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><b>Kumi Naidoo, Secretary General at Amnesty International, said:<\/b><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe world\u2019s most urgent struggle needs the power and diversity that the global people\u2019s movement for human rights can bring. We come with key constituencies, energy, and skills to the fight for climate justice. But we have been punching way below our weight so far.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;\u201cAmnesty intends to do its part to change this.

As Hurricane Dorian reminds us all too painfully, those costs are real and they are rising. Today\u2019s declaration reflects a common commitment within the human rights community to put human rights at the center of the climate crisis, to phase out the fossil fuels that are driving that crisis, and to hold governments and companies accountable when they stand in the way.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><b>Ellen Dorsey, Executive Director at Wallace Global Fund, said:<\/b><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe human rights sector and movements from around the world are bringing new resources, a powerful global constituency of supporters, and unique human rights advocacy to the climate movement, calling for actions by governments and corporations commensurate with the scale and rapid pace of climate change to ensure the survival of humanity.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><b>Philip Alston, Center for Human Rights and Global Justice Chair at New York University School of Law, said:<\/b><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cClimate change has been called a \u2018false alarm\u2019, but it is an alarm that will end up killing many of our children, and at least some of us. We read daily about large numbers of people dying of heat exposure, being drowned in floods or burned in wildfires, or just forced to flee their homes, but we fool ourselves that it won\u2019t happen to us. While many of us are distracted on social media or determined to get on with normal life, the future disasters flowing from climate change are moving from possibilities to certainties. Human rights as we know them will be rendered increasingly meaningless unless we act immediately.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ENDS<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><b><br>Notes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[1] <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/open?id=1J1YygRS4myzJCeviKMWoSAMC7c7i7wx3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Link to the online declaration<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><b>Media contacts in New York<\/b><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amanda Kistler, <\/span><a href=\"mailto:akistler@ciel.org\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">akistler@ciel.org<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, +1 202-742-5832<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kharunya Paramaguru, <\/span><a href=\"mailto:kharunya.paramaguru@amnesty.org\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">kharunya.paramaguru@amnesty.org<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, +44 7508-394415<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lauren Stackpoole, <\/span><a href=\"mailto:lauren.stackpoole@nyu.edu\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lauren.stackpoole@nyu.edu<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, +1 212-998-6069<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rodrigo Estrada, <\/span><a href=\"mailto:rodrigo.estrada@greenpeace.org\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rodrigo.estrada@greenpeace.org<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, +1 202-344-9292<\/span><\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\" id=\"espanol\"\/>\n\n<p><em>Espa\u00f1ol<\/em><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">200 l\u00edderes y lideresas ambientales y de derechos humanos se comprometen a abordar juntos la emergencia clim\u00e1tica<\/h2>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nueva York, 18 de septiembre de 2019 \u2013 En una iniciativa sin precedentes, m\u00e1s de 200 representantes de los pueblos ind\u00edgenas, la esfera laboral y el mundo acad\u00e9mico, as\u00ed como de grupos ambientalistas y de derechos humanos, aprobaron una declaraci\u00f3n hist\u00f3rica [1] en la que piden a gobiernos y grandes empresas abordar con car\u00e1cter de urgencia la crisis clim\u00e1tica y as\u00ed garantizar la supervivencia de la humanidad.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Su reuni\u00f3n en la Cumbre de los Pueblos sobre el Clima, los Derechos y la Supervivencia Humana tiene como objetivo generar a\u00fan m\u00e1s potencia, energ\u00eda y recursos que impulsen un movimiento de masas conectado, diverso y orientado hacia la acci\u00f3n para vencer la emergencia clim\u00e1tica, poniendo en el centro de sus soluciones a las personas y los derechos humanos.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Estos l\u00edderes y lideresas y sus grupos tratan de presionar a gobiernos y grandes empresas para que incrementen sus compromisos en materia clim\u00e1tica.

L\u2019ouragan Dorian nous rappelle douloureusement la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 et la hausse de ce co\u00fbt. La d\u00e9claration d\u2019aujourd\u2019hui est le reflet d\u2019un engagement commun, au sein du mouvement de d\u00e9fense des droits humains, pour placer les droits humains au centre de la crise climatique, supprimer progressivement les \u00e9nergies fossiles qui alimentent cette crise et amener les gouvernements et les entreprises \u00e0 rendre des comptes lorsqu\u2019ils entravent l\u2019action climatique. \u00bb<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><b>Ellen Dorsey, directrice g\u00e9n\u00e9rale du Wallace Global Fund, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 :<\/b><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00ab Le secteur des droits humains et ses mouvements aux quatre coins du monde apportent \u00e0 l\u2019action climatique de nouvelles ressources, un puissant vivier international de sympathisants et une force unique de plaidoyer en faveur des droits humains, permettant d\u2019appeler les gouvernements et les entreprises \u00e0 prendre des mesures \u00e0 la hauteur de l\u2019ampleur et de la rapidit\u00e9 du changement climatique afin d\u2019assurer la survie de l\u2019humanit\u00e9. \u00bb<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;<\/span><b>Philip Alston, pr\u00e9sident du Centre pour les droits humains et la justice mondiale de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de New York, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 :<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00ab Le changement climatique a \u00e9t\u00e9 qualifi\u00e9 de \u201cfausse alerte\u201d, mais c\u2019est une alerte qui finira par tuer un grand nombre de nos enfants et au moins certains d\u2019entre nous.

Tandis que beaucoup d\u2019entre nous sont distraits par les r\u00e9seaux sociaux ou d\u00e9termin\u00e9s \u00e0 continuer une vie normale, les probabilit\u00e9s de catastrophes futures d\u00e9coulant du changement climatique deviennent des certitudes.
