<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">International human rights law applies to loss and damage associated with the adverse effects of climate change, including extreme weather events and slow-onset events, resulting from anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse
gases. Climate change is already having negative impacts on a wide range of human rights, such as the rights to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment, food, water and sanitation, health, housing, an adequate standard of living, life, culture, development,
self-determination, and peace among others. For example, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change found that climate change has exposed millions of people to acute food insecurity and reduced water security, with the largest adverse impacts observed in
many locations and/or communities in Africa, Asia, Central and South America, LDCs, Small Islands and the Arctic, and globally for Indigenous Peoples, small-scale food producers and low-income households. The occurrence of climate-related food-borne and water-borne
diseases and the incidence of vector-borne diseases have also increased. These losses and damages have exacerbated inequalities, including with respect to the effective enjoyment of human rights. They require a response grounded in human rights. The following
Key Messages describe human rights obligations related to loss and damage from climate change.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
