A/HRC/28/61 environmental harm. The Independent Expert encourages all those interested in human rights and the environment to review the compendium of practices for sources of inspiration and models for future actions. 104. The Independent Expert also urges Governments, international institutions, corporations, civil society organizations and others to continue to develop good practices, and the Human Rights Council and OHCHR to continue to cooperate with other partners, such as UNEP and UNDP, to encourage such development and to disseminate information about such practices. 105. That so many are engaged in bringing human rights perspectives to environmental protection is highly encouraging. At the same time, the emphasis on good practices should not obscure the work that remains to be done to ensure that human rights relating to the environment are fully respected, protected and fulfilled. 106. Many areas require further attention in this respect. The Independent Expert continues to emphasize the importance of two areas in particular: the importance of clarifying and implementing human rights obligations relating to transboundary environmental harm, in particular with regard to the global harm caused by climate change; and the urgent need to take more effective steps to protect the rights of environmental human rights defenders. 107. Finally, at the conclusion of the three-year mandate established by Human Rights Council resolution 19/10, the Independent Expert wishes to express his profound gratitude to all those people, far too many to name, who have helped him to carry out this work. 21
