Memorandum for the Petitioners |144 d) Request the respondent Carbon Majors to submit business plans regarding climate change that are consistent with both international and national human requirements; rights laws and e) Monitor respondent Carbon Majors on an ongoing basis and report periodically on whether respondents’ actions are consistent with both international and national human rights laws and requirements; f) Recommend that policymakers and legislators develop and adopt clear and implementable objective standards for corporate reporting on human rights in the context of climate change; g) Recommend the adoption of one or more accountability mechanisms that provide an effective remedy that can be easily accessed by those affected by climate change; h) Recommend that the government develop a National Action Plan on business, environment, and climate change, using as a starting point the UNGPs and relevant pieces of evidence herein presented; and i) Recommend that governments -- including the Philippines and other countries where the respondent Carbon Majors are domiciled and/or operate -- enhance, strengthen, or explore new ways to fulfill their international duty of cooperation, including but not limited to, the introduction of further regulation of the Carbon Majors to fully address the human rights impacts of climate change. 9.3. The Honorable Commission is empowered by its mandate to be the vanguard of the movement to secure human rights in the face of the climate crisis. The Honorable Commission can make a significant contribution to this movement by standing up for all Filipinos, who bear the brunt of the impacts of climate change, despite having contributed the least to the problem. The petitioners respectfully pray for the Honorable Commission to take categorical and bold actions and issue the following recommendations. 668 Although the Philippines currently has National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP) from 2011| pdf [last accessed on 06 2028 (see http://climate.emb.gov.ph/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/NCCAPSeptember 2019)]), the same is different from what petitioners envision and recommend -- as inspired by the proposal of expert witness and former Chair of this Honorable Commission, Ms. Loretta Ann Rosales -since the National Action Plan will go beyond the NCCAP.
