Organizations Discuss Climate Finance and Human Rights in Papua
What happened
The World Council of Churches and Franciscans International co-organized a side event on climate finance in Geneva on September 7. This event, titled “Climate Finance for Human Rights, Resilience, and Justice,” discussed how climate funding should be provided as grants rather than debt-creating loans. Separately, the World Council of Churches joined two statements delivered by Franciscans International regarding human rights in Papua.

Why it matters
Resolutions adopted during the climate finance event emphasized the human right to safe drinking water and sanitation, paying attention to the rising cost of water, wastewater, and pollution. The resolutions also strengthened language concerning the environmentally sound management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes.
