A/78/167 duty bearers to ensure that a rights-based approach is taken with regard to persons with disabilities. 17. The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities contains several other provisions that are applicable to protecting the rights of persons with albinism from being negatively affected by climate change. 7 These include article 10, which obligates States to ensure the inherent right to life of persons with disabilities, and article 11, pursuant to which States must take all necessary measures to ensure the protection and safety of persons with disabilities in situations of risks, including natural disasters. In addition, article 24, on education, article 25, on health, article 27, on work and employment, and article 28, on standard of living and social protection also safeguard persons with albinism from the adverse consequences that climate change has on social participation. At the core of the Convention is the obligation of State parties to actively involve and consult with persons with disabilities and their representative organizations in decision-making processes concerning issues that have an impact on their lives. Climate change is one of those pressing issues. Other articles – such as article 31, on addressing statistics and data collection, article 32, on international cooperation, and article 33, on national implementation and monitoring) – support the inclusion of persons with albinism in the areas of climate change adaptation, mitigation and loss and damage. 18. The Paris Agreement on climate change strengthens the global response to the threat of climate change by limiting global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, while pursuing efforts to limit it to 1.5 degrees Celsius. The Paris Agreement does not contain reference to persons with albinism specifically, but in its preamble it is acknowledged that States parties should, when taking action to address climate change, respect, promote and consider their respective obligations with regard to human rights, including with respect to persons with disabilities. Subsequent decisions related to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change have reaffirmed the rights of persons with disabilities alongside other groups. For instance, in the Glasgow Climate Pact, adopted at the twenty-sixth session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the obligations of States parties to include persons with disabilities in climate action is explicitly recognized (see document FCCC/PA/CMA/2021/10/Add.1). 19. In the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 it is recognized that persons with disabilities are disproportionately affected by disasters, and the importance of ensuring that disaster risk reduction strategies are inclusive and address the specific needs of all persons with disabilities is emphasized. In the Sendai Framework the need for the active participation and leadership of persons with disabilities and their representative organizations in all aspects of disaster risk reduction, including planning, implementation and monitoring, is also emphasized. In particular, under the Framework, Governments are called upon to engage with relevant stakeholders, including persons with disabilities, in the design and implementation of policies, plans and standards as part of a people-centred preventive approach to disaster risk. __________________ 7 6/23 No adverse conclusion should be drawn as to the applicability of provisions not listed here. 23-13701
