The right to housing in the context of climate change, urbanisation and environmental degradation - Summary

The report shows how the right to housing and related human rights are increasingly threatened by climate change, urbanisation and environmental degradation and presents local experiences from Africa, Asia and Latin America. It calls for a coherent approach to policy-making. In six reports from five countries (Cameroon, El Salvador, Nigeria, Peru and the Philippines), civil society organisations demonstrate community-based solutions. The report concludes with recommendations to national and local governments and the United Nations human rights bodies.

The full report is available in English. Summaries are available in English, Spanish and French.
