CHR Philippines Pre-Conference of Parties

Members of petitioning organizations and communities, as well as other supporters, hold a vigil program outside the CHR as the first face-to-face between their representatives and those of big polluters take place inside the CHR.

The investigating body, the Commission on Human Rights of the Philippines, sent Notices in October requesting the companies to attend the 11 December meeting to discuss and agree on how the investigation will be conducted, as well as evidence submission and witnesses. The investigation will intensify in 2018 and has the potential to shift global understanding of corporate responsibility for climate change.
