The side event aims to show how the human rights framework is interconnected and applies to each of the five Summit pillars, demonstrating how rights-based environmental and climate action can be a catalyst for change. Discussions will also address current challenges in the Amazon rainforest, a region that requires transformative change, recognizing the deep interrelationship between humans and nature, and a holistic approach to sustainable development that ensures the ability of future generations to enjoy their human rights.
