A/HRC/29/19 that support livelihoods, and the establishment of cross-sectoral links to ensure decent employment and social welfare. 58. Ms. Yao recommended future measures that were adapted to the situation and conditions of those most affected by climate change and developed with the involvement of all stakeholders. Mechanisms that enabled communities to share knowledge and good practices and to participate in decision-making, monitoring and accountability processes should be strengthened. Participants at the recent International Forum on Agriculture and Climate Change discussed climate-smart agriculture that adapted to environmental pressure and had fewer adverse environmental impacts. A multi-stakeholder global alliance on climate-smart agriculture had been established to promote sustainable and equitable increases in agricultural productivity and incomes, build resilience of food systems and farming livelihoods and achieve reductions or removals of greenhouse gas emissions by agriculture. 59. She said that, as it becomes increasingly clear that climate change had adverse impacts on the enjoyment of the right to food, the international community must take action, including by implementing the FAO Right to Food Guidelines, Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure and Principles for Responsible Investment in Agriculture and Food Systems. These tools offer critical human rights-based guidance to help realize the right to food and take climate action. Ms. Yao proposed a strong commitment in the post-2015 development agenda to ensure the empowerment of key actors, especially women and vulnerable groups, who played a crucial role in realizing the right to adequate food. 60. The General Secretary of the World Council of Churches, Olav Fykse Tveit, asserted that climate change was a matter of life or death. It brought home messages from religious traditions worldwide that the world is one creation, that all persons share responsibility for its stewardship and that the actions of the few can impact the basic conditions of life for all. He said that climate change was about universal human rights. The problems highlighted by the panellists were real and climate change was already affecting the enjoyment of all human rights, including the right to food. Many communities were suffering from rising sea levels, salinization of fresh water sources, increased frequency and intensity of tropical storms, changing rainfall patterns, droughts and floods and changing temperatures, which had a direct impact on food security. 61. He said that, in its resolutions, the Human Rights Council had for years highlighted the human rights impacts of climate change and special procedures mandate-holders had reported on climate change in relation to several human rights. The 2010 Social Forum recommended the establishment of a special rapporteur on climate change and human rights who would work to enhance the enjoyment of human rights by those most vulnerable to climate-related hazards. Mr. Tveit reiterated that call, emphasizing that the disproportionate impact of climate change on those most vulnerable and least responsible was an issue of fundamental injustice. 62. Since the scientific consensus on human-induced climate change was clear, the world needed urgent and collective action on behalf of all humanity, including in preparation for the 2015 Paris Conference of the Parties. The World Council of Churches had specifically addressed climate change since the late 1980s, linking it to issues of peace, economic justice and the environment. Climate change had environmental, political, ethical and spiritual dimensions. Therefore, efforts to prevent, mitigate and adapt to climate change and its impacts should be the focus of a broad-based approach rooted in human solidarity. Those who lived in rich countries would need to change their lifestyle patterns. Those in vulnerable countries should have the means to build resilience and adapt. Change must occur at the individual, community, national and international levels. States, the Human Rights Council, civil society and faith-based organizations should cooperate to ensure 13
