A/HRC/13/26 Council on this issue in June 2009, and prepared a summary of the discussion which was made available, together with the OHCHR study, to the fifteenth Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP15), held in Copenhagen in December 2009. OHCHR also participated in high-level planning meetings organized on climate change within the United Nations system. The importance of considering the human rights implications of climate change-related effects has been emphasized through a number of public statements, including a video message on the UN “Seal the Deal” campaign website and a contribution to the Climate Thinkers Blog on the COP15 host county website (http://en.cop15.dk/blogs/climate+thinkers+blog). H. The right to development 35. The effective realization of the right to development is one of the OHCHR priorities. It provided substantive and analytical support to the open-ended Working Group on the Right to Development, including in the implementation of the 2008–2010 workplan of its expert mechanism, the High-level Task Force on the Implementation of the Right to Development. Regarding global partnerships for development identified in Millennium Development Goal 8, my Office commissioned independent studies in the areas of trade, access to essential medicines, debt relief and transfer of technology, and supported technical missions and expert consultations with relevant international entities. OHCHR continued to nurture and deepen the dialogue initiated with those institutions and partnerships with a view to mainstreaming the right to development in their policies and programmes. 36. Efforts were also made to strengthen the global partnership for development between Member States and other stakeholders. A number of activities were organized individually, or in partnership with these actors, including a panel discussion on the development and applicability of Human Rights Impact Assessments of trade agreements at the 2009 World Trade Organization Public Policy Forum; a parallel event to the sixtyfourth session of the General Assembly which considered the linkages between human rights and financing for development, with a special focus on the right to development perspective; an interactive dialogue on the integration of a right-to-development perspective in the implementation of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Development Agenda; and an expert meeting on improved interaction between the universal periodic review and the African Peer Review Mechanism, with increased consideration of the right to development. OHCHR also facilitated active, open and multistakeholder dialogue on the issues of poverty eradication and human rights through the organization of the 2009 Social Forum of the Human Rights Council. I. Human rights mainstreaming 37. At the request of the Secretary-General, throughout 2009 OHCHR led inter-agency consultations to develop a follow-up mechanism to the Action 2 inter-agency initiative to strengthening further efforts to mainstream human rights into United Nations operational activities for development. In November, the United Nations Development Group established a dedicated mechanism on human rights mainstreaming which will be chaired by my Office and will further strengthen system-wide coherence, collaboration and support for resident coordinators and United Nations country teams in mainstreaming human rights. Building upon the achievements of the Action 2 inter-agency programme, OHCHR will continue to institutionalize mainstreaming efforts and partnerships with United Nations agencies, including on thematic issues, and develop national capacities and follow-up to recommendations of United Nations human rights mechanisms at the request of States. 10 GE.09-17604
