To the Secretariat of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change:

The climate crisis is here and we need urgent solutions that center human rights and measures to address modern slavery. As we rapidly reimagine and build a low carbon economy, it cannot, and need not, be built on the back of forced labor and modern slavery.

I am calling on you to ensure a truly just transition and support responses to the climate emergency that advance the human rights agenda and prioritize building resilience to modern slavery.
