Amicus Curiae Brief presented by ClientEarth 21 November 2016 39. The Petitioners have also requested that the Commission make a number of recommendations aimed at strengthening corporate accountability for the human rights implications of climate change, none of which go beyond the powers and functions of the Commission. Notably, point 5 of the prayer for relief is a request for plans from the companies to eliminate, remedy and prevent the human rights impacts of climate change in the future. The Petitioners are, accordingly, not seeking adjudication of legal liabilities for past emissions, but are sensibly looking to the future and requesting that the Carbon Majors provide plans for how future adverse human rights impacts will be prevented. ClientEarth provides additional suggestions regarding the appropriate findings and recommendations the Commission may choose to make in section 8, below. 4 International human rights law and climate change 40. Prior to the 21st Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC, which led to the adoption of the Paris Agreement, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) of the United Nations submitted a report entitled Understanding Human Rights and Climate Change to the parties to the UNFCCC. The submission outlined the human rights implications of climate change and the consequential obligations on States to address its effects, stating that: "[i]t is now beyond dispute that climate change caused by human activity has negative impacts on the full enjoyment of human rights. Climate change has profound impacts on a wide variety of human rights, including the rights to life, self-determination, development, food, health, water and sanitation and housing. 21
