Abstract

This submission was made in response to an open consultation by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on climate change on advancing understanding on how to respect, protect and fulfil all human rights, as well as prevent harm and ensure non-discrimination, in the context of a just transition away from fossil fuels and the phase-out of fossil fuel subsidies. The submission is informed by research conducted at LSE, including at the Grantham Research Institute, and also the authors’ established expertise in the law and governance of climate change and human rights. It responds to questions relating to the human rights impacts of the fossil fuel-based economy, the transition away from and phase-out of fossil fuel subsidies, relevant international law, transferable insights from other sectors, contributions to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, and proposals for scaling up action.
