Seanad Éireann — 2022-07-07
============================================================

Alice-Mary Higgins (IND), National University of Ireland

I move amendment No. 3:
In page 9, between lines 12 and 13, to insert the following:
“ “climate justice” reflects the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change commitments on equity and “common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities” and requires that the decisions and actions taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to adapt to the effects of climate change should—
(a) support the people who are most affected by climate change but who have done the least to cause it and are the least equipped to adapt to its effects, and
(b) safeguard the human rights of the most vulnerable persons;”.
