Recommendation 3:
Manage supply chain risk from the top down and bottom up to enable resilient suppliers.
To ensure that the intersection of climate change and human rights is addressed thoroughly across the value chain, risks must be managed both at the top and bottom of the supply chain. At the top, solutions must involve Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) systems and secure buy-in from C-suite leadership and decision-makers in regional/local offices. Simultaneously, at the bottom of the value chain, perhaps at the farm or factory level, resilience programs and risk assessments must be deployed in a way that can reach those most affected on the ground.
If a supplier is identified to be “vulnerable to climate shocks” in a supply chain risk assessment, there are many ways a company can help them build resilience. To prevent shocks that negatively impact sourcing networks—including workers and communities—companies can adopt a “reverse sourcing” approach, one that starts by implementing climate resilience programs at the entities in the value chain most vulnerable to climate shocks first. This may involve working with smallholder producers, upstream producers, or manufacturers to build out resilience programs rather than the traditional approach of engaging Tier 1 suppliers first and waiting for the program to trickle down from the top of the supply chain to those at the bottom.

Recommendation 6:
Countries should also continue to discuss the broader issue of loss and damage in a transparent way that will address the concerns of all affected countries. This could occur within the framework of the existing Warsaw Mechanism, or a new platform could be developed (most likely within the UNFCCC). Additional stakeholders—such as the UN human rights agencies and expert bodies—could be included in this dialogue.

Recommendation 12:
Local governments should undertake measures to reduce GHG emissions within their jurisdiction and pursue adaptation objectives in a manner that is mindful of human rights. As with national governments, local governments should ensure that adaptation responses are non-discriminatory, consider integrating climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction programs, and pursue adaptation measures with environmental and social co-benefits, such as ecosystem-based adaptation.

Recommendation 8:
Learn how to gather data and measure resilience for business and other important communities.
Measuring resilience in relation to both climate and human rights is not as straightforward as quantifiable evaluations of emissions reductions, but it is just as important. Identifying common metrics to measure the impacts and outcomes of climate resilience programs and activities on both business and society is helpful to driving action and obtaining buy-in for work at this intersection.
