The change is detrimental and often disproportionately affects the most vulnerable among us, including our youngest generation, impoverished people, people with disabilities, and Indigenous and island peoples. But there is good news–right here, right now, the solutions are within us.

Advance education about climate change as a human rights crisis. Discuss the responsibilities and obligations of various entities to address crises Identify actionable solutions that are grounded in respect for human rights The Right Here Right Now Global Climate Summit (RHRN) focuses on the human rights impacts and challenges created by climate change as well as the need for human-focused solutions.
