Climate crisis, migration and vulnerable populations-#REDESCA highlights the indivisibility and intersectionality of human rights in this crucial report. @PromiseInstUCLA thanks outgoing Special Rapporteur García Muñoz for her work developing these human rights standards.
Soledad García Muñoz@solgmunoz
La movilidad humana es uno de los mayores desafíos para #CentroAmérica y #México. El informe que hoy publicamos analiza las causas de la misma desde una perspectiva novedosa: los #DESCA. Y ofrece estándares y recomendaciones en clave propositiva. ¡Por el derecho a una vida digna!

Another groundbreaking report from #REDESCA elevating the struggle of Indigenous communities in the US and calling for US accountability for the climate emergency. @PromiseInstUCLA has been highlighting the same in our work on Environment and Human Rights.
#REDESCA@DESCA_CIDH

@PromiseInstUCLA Human Rights in the Americas project echos @solgmunoz concern for the community #Kivalina. The appropriation of Nature by settler capitalist states has placed Native communities at risk, further violating their rights and livelihoods.
Soledad García Muñoz@solgmunoz
Visiting Alaska as #REDESCA has not been a trip, but a deep contact with the dignity and pain of those who are suffering the most from climate change and are doing the least to cause it. Kivalina is sinking and its people can't wait.
