A/HRC/38/21 discriminatory processes, and should benefit those most in need, including persons on the move. 51. Read collectively, the Charter of the United Nations, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Declaration on the Right to Development, and other instruments, including those related to international labour standards, reinforce that States have human rights obligations to cooperate and mobilize the necessary means of implementation to ensure the safety and dignity of all persons, including those crossing borders in response to the adverse effects of climate change. These efforts should respect basic principles of climate justice, including the commitments of parties to protect the rights of persons disproportionately affected by climate change and future generations. 52. Importantly, ensuring the means of implementation for climate change mitigation and adaptation to close protection gaps requires more than simply mobilizing financial resources. Technology, for example, is a critical means of implementation. Under the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, everyone has the right to enjoy the benefits of science and its applications. Effective climate change mitigation and adaptation technologies should be developed and equitably distributed under the technology facilitation mechanism of the Paris Agreement, which specifically calls for support to be provided to developing countries. 53. In addition to calling upon developed countries to mobilize $100 billion per year in climate finance to address the needs of developing countries, the Addis Ababa Action Agenda of the Third International Conference on Financing for Development also speaks of transparent methodologies for reporting climate finance; technology transfer to address climate change; capacity-building, including to improve access to climate finance; policy coherence throughout the different aspects of sustainable development; and improved data collection to inform evidence-based policies. The Action Agenda specifically calls for funding to address climate change and disaster resilience, an even split between adaptation and mitigation funding, and directing climate finance towards vulnerable countries in accordance with the principle of common but differentiated responsibility. It further emphasizes the importance of providing safe and fair channels for remittances, and calls for international cooperation to ensure safe, orderly and regular migration with full respect for human rights. 54. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Addis Ababa Action Agenda, the Sendai Framework and the Paris Agreement are all interlinked and represent a considerable international commitment, with human rights at the core, to mobilize diverse means of implementation for climate change mitigation and adaptation; the promotion of safe, orderly and regular migration; disaster risk reduction; and sustainable development that leaves no one behind. 55. Because the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the Declaration on the Right to Development and other human rights instruments guarantee all persons the right to free, active, meaningful and informed participation in public affairs, it is important that the means of implementation for climate change mitigation and adaptation measures are the result of informed and participatory decision-making processes. People are the agents of change who must be empowered to achieve effective climate action, including, when necessary, by taking decisions freely to move in conditions of safety and dignity. That empowerment requires transparent and inclusive institutions and processes, as well as accurate and accessible measurements of greenhouse gas emissions, climate change and its human rights impacts. Sufficient regular pathways for cross-border movement are a prerequisite. Participation in decision-making, as well as the monitoring, review and verification of climate change impacts and commitments, are critical in order to close protection gaps by ensuring the effective mobilization of means of implementation for climate change mitigation and adaptation.
