Our mission is to make it possible for people and communities to fully enjoy their #humanrights now and in the future. We accepted the challenge of co-organising in Santiago de Chile, the conference @ourfutureispublic #OFiP2022 where social leaders, academics and experts from around the world 🌍 will gather to reimagine the relationship between citizens, their democracies and #publicservices, between 29 November and 2 December. The efficient development of public services allows economic, social, cultural and environmental rights to be fully guaranteed. We appreciate the willingness of @uchile @centroextension and @ccplm, public places that will host this important conversation in the face of the social challenges posed by the global context.

Its out! Our 🆕 White Paper #LossAndDamage - the missing piece: International tax cooperation for new climate finance. Although States have international human rights obligations with respect to both climate change and loss and damage, the current financial architecture and governance regime for loss and damage remains inadequate and unfit for purpose. In this white paper, prepared by GI-ESCR and Tax Justice Network, we aim to discuss and explore the following research questions: • How can international tax cooperation bridge the finance gap for loss and damage caused by #climatechange ? • What financial architecture and governance regimes would be appropriate? • What guidance do international #humanrights standards provide? 🔗 in bio!

This year's #CoP27 once again provides a critical opportunity to drive long overdue change and the enforcement of ambitious commitments. It is time to take the #climateemergency seriously, to put #humanrights and #genderequality at the centre of climate mitigation and adaptation strategies, and to mobilise the resources necessary to address the inevitable loss and damage. The scope, speed, and scale of the emergency do not allow for further hesitation to achieve a rights-based transition to a just and sustainable future.

GI-ESCR and partners call on the IMF and the World Bank to support #PublicServices. The report Our Future is Public - Why the @the_imf and the @worldbank must support public services draws from the proceedings of an event held at the 2022 IMF/WBG Spring Meetings Civil Society Policy Forum, entitled ‘The Future is Public: Prioritising public services in the light of COVID-19 and climate change’. IFIs such as the World Bank and the IMF continue to fail to protect public services, despite their rhetoric arguing the opposite. They must adopt a rights-based approach to public services, meaning that they must unambiguously support strong, publicly provided, publicly financed, gender transformative and democratically controlled services that provide universal access and universal coverage. This should be reflected in their financing and support to countries, as well as in their global political influence. The report is on a link in our bio!

A gender-just transition can be understood as a set of collective efforts to shift societies in favour of a sustainable and just economy that prioritises Setting a Roadmap for a #Feminist Green Transformation: Using Economic, Social, Cultural and Environmental Rights as Guiding Tools for a Gender-Just Transition fulfilment of human rights and achievement of gender equality over time. 🛣️ This briefing paper starts to draw a roadmap towards such a transition. It explores how States and other stakeholders might use and mobilise the human rights framework, specifically economic, social, cultural, and environmental rights (ESCE rights), to address intersecting inequalities and environmental global crises, and thereby create a thriving future for all. 🔗 Link in bio!

The #ClimateCrisis is one of the major threats to human rights around the world. Especially economic, social, cultural and environmental rights face the brunt of the triple planetary crisis, affecting the livelihoods of millions of people. Efforts to promote a just green transition have been taken up also at the Human Rights Council with the most recent resolution A/HRC/49/L.16 on the right to work which was adopted without a vote at the 49th session of the Council. Organisers want to thus emphasize the importance of the just transition to be guided by a human rights compass and to ensure that the current narrative around just transitions acknowledges that the just green transition goes beyond the right to work to include all economic, social, cultural and environmental rights. This is also highlighted in the briefing paper on ESC rights and a gender-just green transition by the Global Initiative for Economic, Social and Cultural Rights which will be released at the event. 📅 #SaveTheDate October 3 @unitednationshumanrights @unitednations
