STEP UP!: A Joint Commitment by Heads of United Nations Entities

This joint commitment outlines the shared pledge of United Nations entities, developed under the Secretary-General’s Call to Action for Human Rights, to advance the right of children, young people and future generations to a healthy environment. It sets out commitments to strengthen their meaningful participation in decision-making at local, national and international levels, particularly in relation to climate action and climate justice. The document defines a common framework for integrating human rights considerations into climate-related policies, programmes and institutional practices across the United Nations system.
