Guidance on the Preparation of a Parallel Report to a UN Human Rights Treaty Body on the topic of climate change and human rights

This document provides guidance for the drafting of a parallel report to a Human Rights Treaty Body (HRTB) addressing linkages between national climate (in)action and the State’s human rights obligations. Writing a parallel report to a HRTB is a relatively simple task which involves
communicating country-specific information to the HRTB members to support their analysis of the State’s compliance with its treaty obligations.
For more information regarding the different stages of the State Reporting Procedure of the HRTBs and opportunities to leverage this process for the benefit of climate campaigning and advocacy, please see our briefing note available at: bit.ly/LeveragingHRTBclimate.
