Give human-rights impacts of climate change sustained institutional attention.

Source summary · attributed to the authors

The request, in plain language.

Requests a dedicated UN Special Rapporteur mandate at the Council’s 47th session.

The letter specifies a proposed office and decision venue. The existence or effectiveness of a later mandate requires a separate outcome record.

The implementation question

A question for inquiry, not a finding about the authors’ intentions.
