   States should address environmental harm that interferes with the full enjoyment of human rights, including harm caused by climate change impacts. State obligations include remedial measures, as well as preventive measures. International law requires the Philippines to respond when human rights abuses occur within its territory, including with respect to abuses caused by businesses located outside its territory. States in which a corporate actor is domiciled, as well as States in which the victims reside, have obligations to prevent that business from abusing human rights. The Philippines therefore has positive obligations to assess these abuses and to provide access to a remedy for the victims of climate change. 58
