Plain English recommendation
All parts of government should work together and do everything needed to meet its climate goals under the Paris Agreement and follow through on its plan to reach net-zero emissions, particularly in the areas of energy, transportation, land use, farming and buildings. Government should improve its plan for reducing carbon emissions from homes and consider the Committee’s guidance on how climate change is connected to human rights.
Original UN recommendation
The Committee recommends that the State Party, pursuing a whole-of-government approach, take all measures necessary to meet its nationally determined contribution under the Paris Agreement and implement its net-zero strategy, particularly in the energy, transport, land use, agriculture and building sectors. It further encourages the State Party to enhance its decarbonization policy for dwelling stock and take into account the Committee’s statement on climate change and the Covenant.
