ABOUT RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW
The Right Here, Right Now Global Climate Alliance is an international initiative created to take on climate change as the human rights crisis that leading scientists and human rights advocates, including the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, have declared it to be.
Designed to be one of the largest public/private climate partnerships to fight climate change in the world, this global movement is committed to work with policy-makers, persons affected by climate change, NGOs, foundations, businesses, academics, celebrities, artists, scientists, and all people to fight climate change and preserve our common future.
UNITED NATIONS
HUMAN RIGHTS
United Nations Human Rights has a unique mandate from the international community to promote and protect human rights for all - everywhere. Fighting climate change is at the very heart of their mandate. Climate change already negatively affects the human rights of millions of people around the world – human rights such as those to food, water, housing, health, decent work, development and even life itself. Climate change is not just an environmental issue – it is a human rights crisis bearing down hardest on the poor and marginalized.
