Description

This Factsheet for Parliamentarians introduces the Escazú Agreement, a groundbreaking regional treaty in Latin America and the Caribbean that serves as a key tool to catalyze climate governance and action from a human rights-based approach, ensuring the three rights of access to: information, participation, and justice in environmental matters.

The Factsheet outlines climate change impacts on groups and communities disproportionately on the frontlines as human rights defenders in environmental matters and provides parliamentarians with action points for climate action within this context.
