The United Nations Special Rapporteur on the right to development, Mr Surya Deva, in his vision report to the Human Rights Council (A/HRC/54/27) highlighted climate change as one of the major disruptors to realizing the right to development. He also underlined his priority to focus on the development aspirations of certain marginalized or vulnerable beneficiaries, including children, youth and future generations. The Special Rapporteur’s 2024 reports to the Human Rights Council and the General Assembly will focus on these two themes.
