Climate Change Potentially Threatens Human Rights, Minister Reminds

Jakarta – Climate change is one of the most significant issues in the human rights context, not only threatening physically but also potentially threatening human rights (HAM). This is according to Minister of Law and Human Rights Yasonna Hamonangan Laoly. 

"Climate change and disaster management are issues that require joint action and are in line with human rights principles," Minister Laoly said at a workshop titled "Mainstreaming Human Rights in Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Management" held at Borobudur Hotel, Jakarta, on Tuesday.

Minister Laoly believes that the collaboration of all stakeholders is essential in responding to climate change and disasters. 

Therefore, he invites all levels of society to be more concerned about climate change and disaster management.

"Only through solid and coordinated cooperation can we overcome these challenges and protect human rights for everyone, including future generations," he said. 

The role of the private sector in the responsibility of protecting human rights in the context of climate change is crucial, according to him. 

Companies must take social and environmental responsibility by reducing carbon emissions, implementing sustainable business practices, and respecting the rights of local communities in operational areas. 

"We must act now to prevent worse impacts in the future while ensuring that human rights remain respected, protected, and fulfilled," Minister Laoly stated. 

To encourage increased private sector awareness of human rights, the government through the Ministry of Law and Human Rights together with relevant ministries and institutions is finalizing the National Strategy on Business and Human Rights.
