A/HRC/44/30 disabilities, including decisions related to climate empowerment, adaptation, capacitybuilding, loss and damage, participation and a shared vision.46 32. In the Doha work programme on article 6 of the Framework Convention, the Conference of the Parties recognized that one goal of education was to promote the changes needed to foster sustainable development and prepare persons with disabilities to adapt to climate change impacts. It reaffirmed the need to engage persons with disabilities in activities related to article 6 and specifically mentioned persons with disabilities among its stakeholders.47 The Subsidiary Body for Implementation and the terms of reference for the intermediate review of the Doha work programme have subsequently recalled the need to effectively engage persons with disabilities in activities under article 6. 48 In the Lima Ministerial Declaration on Education and Awareness-raising, the Conference of the Parties reaffirmed the importance of public participation, access to information and knowledge for effective climate change policies, and the need to engage stakeholders, including persons with disabilities, in their implementation.49 33. In the 2018 report of the Adaptation Committee, the Conference of the Parties encouraged a participatory approach and the use of stakeholder inputs, including from persons with disabilities, to adaptation planning and implementation.50 In the organization of the intergovernmental process and in a shared vision for long-term cooperative action, the Subsidiary Body for Implementation and the Conference of the Parties also recognized the need to engage broadly with stakeholders, including persons with disabilities. 51 In its decision on the outcome of the work of the Ad Hoc Working Group on Long-term Cooperative Action under the Convention, the Conference of the Parties further reaffirmed the importance of “acknowledging the role and needs of … persons with disabilities in capacity-building activities”.52 That is reaffirmed in the 2011 decision on capacity-building under the Convention.53 34. In approaches to address loss and damage associated with climate change impacts in developing countries that are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change to enhance adaptive capacity, the Conference of the Parties acknowledged the need for further work to advance understanding and expertise on loss and damage. Specifically, reference was made to the adverse effects of climate change, its effects on vulnerable segments of the population, including those with disabilities, and the benefits to those segments of loss and damage approaches.54 35. In its 2010 decision entitled “The Cancun Agreements: outcome of the work of the Ad Hoc Working Group on Long-term Cooperative Action under the Convention”, the Conference of the Parties noted Human Rights Council resolution 10/4 and its recognition that the adverse effects of climate change are most acutely felt by the population segments that are already vulnerable owing to various factors, including disability.55 3. 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development 36. Human rights principles and standards are strongly reflected in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The Sustainable Development Goals are interdependent and the achievement of any of the Goals requires effective climate action under Goal 13 (see A/HRC/41/26).
