We call upon the Pope to issue an apology to Survivors, their families, and communities for the Roman Catholic Church’s role in the spiritual, cultural, emotional, physical, and sexual abuse of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis children in Catholic-run residential schools. We call for that apology to be similar to the 2010 apology issued to Irish victims of abuse and to occur within one year of the issuing of this Report and to be delivered by the Pope in Canada.

Recommendation 7:
Use foresight methodologies to plan for the long term and increase strategic resilience.
While human rights risk assessments can identify current vulnerabilities or crisis hotspots, they do not thoroughly examine the uncertainties of the future and the long-term impacts that may come with it. To understand how a business and its stakeholders may be affected, companies should develop an understanding of a myriad of potential future scenarios, influenced by climate change, human rights, and other social, economic, and political dimensions. Companies can test the resilience of their strategies or approaches against these scenarios and ensure that they are appropriately addressing the climate and human rights impacts that may arise.
Beyond supporting the creation of resilient strategies, the process of developing scenarios creates an opportunity to bring together decision-makers addressing climate and human rights risks throughout the company, providing the added benefit of promoting cross-department collaboration.
The Recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures, published in 2017, explicitly call for the use of scenario analysis to assess the potential business implications of climate-related risks and opportunities, and it is increasingly becoming a standard practice. However, the use of scenarios for the consideration of human rights is not yet mainstream, nor is it referenced in key frameworks, such as the UNGPs.

Recommendation 1:
Understand and identify rightsholders and communities most affected by the climate crisis.
Physical climate impacts, as well as climate solutions designed and deployed without input from relevant rightsholders, exacerbate existing inequalities and vulnerabilities of certain communities, resulting in disproportionate impacts to those populations. In order to build effective resilience strategies that take into account both climate resilience and human rights, businesses must understand how these vulnerabilities manifest across their value chains. This can be done by assessing the human rights impacts of climate change as part of existing risk assessment processes or through targeted human rights impact assessments or climate risk assessments.
