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 associated
with fossil fuel products;
4. Recommend that policymakers and legislators develop and adopt
effective accountability mechanisms that victims can easily access in
instances of violations or threats of violations 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, remedied, or
prevented in the future; and
6. Recommend that governments, including the Philippines and other
countries where the investor-owned 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.
This petition was originally filed on September 22, 2015. A motion to
admit updates and amendments was filed on April 21, 2016 and an oral
manifestation was made on May 6, 2016 to make further formatting
corrections which were both granted by the Commission. This petition
therefore contains the said updates, amendments and formatting corrections,
as of May 6, 2016.
