 I bring you greetings from Dubai, COP28. Some 75 years ago, after the United Nations General Assembly adoption of the Human Rights Declaration, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the principles it enshrined still remain absolutely vital. If we do not respect human rights, we do not respect ourselves. No one person, no community, no nation should put themselves above another. Humanity's future depends on pulling together, not apart, to overcome the triple planetary crisis, the crisis of climate change, the crisis of nature and biodiversity loss, and the crisis of pollution and waste. So we at UNEP are recommitting to placing human rights at the heart of our work. UNEP pledges to advance the world's newest right, the right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment. Because the environment makes our lives and well-being possible, it underpins sustainable development, and it enables the fulfillment and many, many other rights. UNEP pledges to support environmental human rights defenders, these brave individuals and communities that face intimidation, criminalization, and even death when they stand up to those who devastate the environment and nature for profit. We stand with those defenders. UNEP pledges to support member states to uphold the rights of Indigenous people who are the best stewards of biodiversity and nature. We will work to incorporate their knowledge, their innovations, and their practices into conservation and restoration strategies, and to ensure that their voices are heard, including through the Kunming Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. UNEP pledges commitment to the principles of equity, non-discrimination, equal participation, accountability, and access to justice, because there can be no better future for nature or climate or people without justice, equity, and true inclusion. And we at UNEP will work with our partners, including the Office for High Commissioner of Human Rights, and of course, other UN agencies such as UNDP. Together we can bolster human rights and undo human wrongs to the environment for the benefit of all.
