Looking forward: addressing new challenges and consolidating gains 2011, para. 63

Paragraph
Paragraph text
The IDP mandate has helped to trigger and shape the IASC analysis of the humanitarian implications of climate change, which resulted in shared terminology on different affected populations and a common understanding of the normative frameworks for their protection and the legal and institutional gaps. This work culminated in joint advocacy efforts on the humanitarian implications of climate change in the 2009 Copenhagen negotiations on a United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The Special Rapporteur will continue to work closely with all stake holders to explore and develop the connections between existing frameworks on climate change, international human rights law, the Guiding Principles and other relevant guidance documents or instruments - with the objective of contributing to a clearer conceptual foundation and normative framework. The mandate will also continue to work with counterparts at all levels in order to strengthen the response to the many human rights challenges posed by climate-induced displacement, including through mutual knowledge sharing, which is considered a key aspect of addressing climate change issues.
