7 New York and New Jersey in the US, Breukelen in the Netherlands, and London, Glasgow, and Stirling in the UK. In myriad ways, we engaged international human rights bodies and organizations in our conversations, such as the South East Asia NHRI Forum (SEANF), the Asia Pacific Forum of National Human Rights Institutions (APF), the Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions (GANHRI), the United Nations Working Group on Business and Human Rights (UN WGBHR), the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Environment, the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNOHCHR), and other institutional agencies. Our findings and recommendations are informed by science and governance experts and may be considered by political and executive branches of government, as well as by courts, wherever they might be deemed relevant. With our Inquiry, we hope to have been able to help identify, or elaborate, on basic rights and duties relative to climate change, as well as amplify standards for corporate behavior. We hope to have been able to demonstrate, as well, a model, albeit seminal, for the broadening of NHRI mechanisms and processes for providing access to justice, especially in regard to grave human rights challenges with transboundary character and extra-territorial obligations.
