A/HRC/38/21 negotiation) offers an opportunity to help ensure the effective mobilization of resources for climate change mitigation and adaption measures that protect persons on the move. 54 56. Furthermore, businesses also have a role to play in mobilizing resources to achieve international objectives related to climate change mitigation and adaptation, and human mobility. For example, article 6 of the Paris Agreement calls upon parties to incentivize and facilitate the private sector’s participation in climate change mitigation. In doing so, States should include adequate safeguards and take effective measures to protect human rights from business harms in line with their obligations under the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. Businesses should participate responsibly in climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts with full respect for human rights. IV. Illustrative good practices 57. The following analysis highlights some illustrative good practices in promoting a rights-based approach to human mobility challenges posed by climate change that were identified through stakeholder inputs and OHCHR research. 58. Collective efforts by United Nations agencies, States and other stakeholders are needed to address the complex intersection of human rights, human mobility and climate change. Part III of the present report contains a number of multi-stakeholder efforts to develop legal and policy frameworks that protect persons crossing borders in the context of climate change. The State-led Platform on Disaster Displacement 55 was established to follow up on the work of the Nansen Initiative and to implement its protection agenda. The Platform aims to strengthen the protection of people displaced across borders in the context of disasters, including those linked to the effects of climate change, and to prevent or reduce disaster displacement risks. Other multi-stakeholder efforts include, for example, the Framework for Resilient Development in the Pacific, which adopts a human rights-based approach and includes specific guidance related to disaster risk reduction and migration; 56 and the Global Knowledge Partnership on Migration and Development, which contributes to better understanding of the determinants of human movement.57 59. International reporting and communications processes under the Framework Convention, the Human Rights Council and the human rights treaty bodies can play an important role in the development, monitoring and review of national policies related to human rights, human mobility and climate change. For example, 33 out of 162 intended nationally determined contributions to the Framework Convention before the twenty-first Conference of the Parties referenced some form of mobility. 58 Unfortunately, research indicates that the number of States including references to human rights in their communications to the Framework Convention or to the adverse effects of climate change during their Human Rights Council universal periodic review are similarly limited. 59 Climate change and human mobility have also come up in the work of human rights treaty 54 55 56 57 58 59 14 For more information on integrating human rights in the guidelines, see www.ohchr.org/EN/Issues/HRAndClimateChange/Pages/UNFCCC.aspx.
