A/HRC/43/53/Add.2
(t)
Update the national action plan on business and human rights.
96.
Finally, in light of the global climate emergency, the Special Rapporteur would
like to highlight the recommendations from his recent report to the General Assembly
on climate change and human rights (A/74/161, paras. 78, 80, 90 and 92). Norway
should prohibit further exploration for fossil fuels, reject further expansion of fossil
fuel infrastructure, develop a just transition strategy for workers and communities
dependent on the fossil fuel industry, prohibit the expansion of the most polluting and
environmentally destructive types of fossil fuel extraction, including oil and gas
produced from hydraulic fracturing (fracking), the Arctic or ultra-deepwater, triple
levels of investment in renewables, energy storage and energy efficiency, accelerate
actions to reduce short-lived climate pollutants, boost climate finance, support the
definition of a mechanism to address loss and damage, and champion the introduction
of an air travel levy to finance such a mechanism.
