Increasingly, the UN human rights system is engaging on matters relating to sustainability. This includes promoting and protecting the rights of environmental defenders, identifying rights-based approaches to climate finance, biodiversity and conservation finance, and a just transition, and the work of thematic experts on human rights and environment, climate change, toxics, and the rights of Indigenous Peoples, among others.

During this panel discussion, speakers from the Raoul Wallenberg Institute, Lund University, and the Swedish Institute for Human Rights will share examples and findings from their engagement with the UN human rights mechanisms on sustainability.

The event, which is open to everyone and will take place in English, is organized by the Faculty of Law at Lund University and the Raoul Wallenberg Institute.

This event is part of Sustainability Week 2024, an annual event organized in collaboration between Lund University and Lund Municipality. In this year's program April 8-13, you will find lectures, workshops, guided tours, exhibitions, and more.
