“The social consequences of Climate Change are crucial for establishing goals to face this phenomenon, and require a joint effort by the Government, the private sector and civil society. Environmental degradation, and climate change in particular, takes its deepest toll on the most vulnerable sectors of the population and is, thus, a factor which enhances social inequality. Therefore, it is important to adopt perspectives which allow to counteract such effects, including the protection and promotion of all the human rights potentially undermined by this phenomenon.”
