Report of the session “Environment and climate change: Building a Human Rights approach at the local level”

From 29 June to 1 July, 2022, UCLG and its Committee on Social Inclusion, Participatory Democracy and Human Rights (CISDPHR), co-organized the International Meetings on Climate Migrations on “Human mobility, climate change, environmental rights: what role for Local and Regional Governments?” with the City of Grenoble, in the framework of the 2022 International Forum of Well-Being of Grenoble.

LRGs were invited explore new avenues for reflexion at the international level on the notion of “environmental rights” and how it translates into local actions. The session was an opportunity to explore several local initiatives ranging from the fight against pollution; access to natural resources (land, water, forests, oceans), to the inclusion of climate migrants.
