Climate change is a threat to human rights, including the right to adequate food. Climate change impacts rural livelihoods. It puts agricultural production at risk, contributes to food price instability and reduces dietary diversity. Climate change increases hunger, poverty, inequalities, but most of all, makes people more vulnerable. Climate action based on human rights can help: 1) Strengthen the resilience of the most vulnerable people and their capacity to adapt to climate change; 2) Empower people to claim their rights; 3) Secure effective remedies for human rights violations; 4) Increase governments accountability; 5) Foster private sector responsibility Food policies addressing climate change must be grounded on human rights, so that agrifood systems can provide adequate food to everyone, everywhere, at all times, ensuring a healthy environment and leaving no one behind. Climate change is a human rights issue, and human rights must guide the solution.
