“Last month, HPOD, together with the Programa de Acción por la Igualdad y la Inclusión Social (PAIIS), based at the Universidad de los Andes in Colombia, and the Disability-Inclusive Climate Action Research Program (DICARP), based at McGill University in Canada, submitted an amicus curiae brief to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, urging the Court to ensure that States Parties to the American Convention on Human Rights (ACHR) are aware of their obligations under international law to ensure that their climate change adaptation and mitigation measures are inclusive of persons with disabilities. In response to a joint request by Colombia and Chile last year, the Court is poised to deliver an advisory opinion on the scope of states' international human rights obligations to respond to the ongoing global climate crisis. The Court's opinion presents a unique opportunity for a regional human rights tribunal to articulate a broad, human rights-based framework for states to undertake climate action as well as for this Court to expand on its 2017 advisory opinion on "State obligations in relation to the environment in the context of the protection and guarantee of the rights to life and to personal integrity."
