WHEREFORE, premises considered, the Petitioners most respectfully pray that the Honourable Commission on Human Rights take the following actions: 1. Taking official or administrative notice of the investor-owned Carbon Majors’ contribution to carbon dioxide emissions and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, conduct an investigation into the human rights implications of climate change and ocean acidification and the resulting rights impacts in the Philippines; and following the investigation, issue a finding on the responsibility of the investor-owned Carbon Majors for human rights threats and/or violations in the Philippines resulting from climate change and ocean acidification. 2. Monitor people and communities acutely vulnerable to the impacts of climate change; 3. Recommend that policymakers and legislators develop and adopt clear and implementable objective standards for corporate reporting of human rights issues in relation to the environment, with special regard for current and future climate change impacts and GHGs from fossil fuel products; 4. Recommend that policymakers and legislators develop and adopt effective accountability mechanisms that victims can easily access in instances of violation or threat of violation in the context of climate change; 5. Notify the investor-owned Carbon Majors and request the submission of plans on how such violations or threats of violation resulting from the impacts of climate change will be eliminated and remedied and prevented in the future; and 6. Recommend that governments, in the Philippines and other countries where the investorowned Carbon Majors are domiciled and/or operate, enhance, strengthen, or explore new ways to fulfill the international duty of cooperation to ensure the Carbon Majors take steps to address the human rights implications of climate change. Petitioners further pray for such other just and equitable reliefs under the premises. Quezon City, Philippines, April 21, 2016. ATTY.
