[Policy Committee Member of Gwangju Council
for Sustainable Development]
The current global climate crisis combined with the COVID-19 pandemic are demanding, more than ever, inclusive sustainable development and human rights protection that leaves no one behind. In particular, the COVID-19 pandemic reminds us that many catastrophes and disasters such as infectious diseases, climate crisis, and ecological destruction are often man-made than the work of fate. Minority groups including people living in poverty, women, people with disability, children and youth, the elderly, immigrants and sexual minorities have suffered more negative effects of disaster.

This will provide a forum for discourse on how the implementation of the SDGs and the practice for human rights promotion are being linked or should be linked. It will also initiate a process of identifying the characteristics of the practical cases where human rights are linked to environment-related SDGs and of seeking new human rights indicators related to the environment.
