A/HRC/52/53 opportunity for stakeholders to understand human rights due diligence and apply it to advertising on social media and other platforms in order to confront hate speech against and disinformation about minorities, and to support human rights-based narratives through ethical and representative advertising. 54. In November 2022, the human rights office of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo 58 finalized a report on hate speech and incitement perpetrated through online and social media and particularly directed at minorities. The most prominent instances of potential hate speech and incitement in online exchanges were along inter-ethnic lines and against members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex community. The report provided concrete recommendations to enable effective responses to address the impact of hate speech on minorities and to support authorities and other stakeholders in addressing this phenomenon. 55. In the Republic of Moldova, OHCHR organized an awareness-raising campaign on tackling hate speech. The campaign marked the thirtieth anniversary of the Declaration, and addressed a wide audience through various media channels in the context of the ongoing armed conflict in Ukraine, which had exacerbated the socioeconomic crisis and the rise of hate speech in media and social media against certain groups of minorities in the country. H. Minorities and climate change 56. In March 2022, the Human Rights Council appointed the first Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights in the context of climate change. In carrying out his mandate, the Special Rapporteur will explore actions to address the human rights aspects of loss and damage experienced by individuals and communities in vulnerable situations, including persons belonging to minority groups. 59 In his vision for the new mandate, he highlighted how climate change could aggravate the frequency, complexity, and severity of crises and their impact on populations, and in particular on minority communities,60 citing a report of the previous Special Rapporteur on minority issues.61 57. In June 2022, the former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights opened the Human Rights Council panel discussion on the adverse effects of climate change on the human rights of people in vulnerable situations. She highlighted that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change had estimated that at least 3.3 billion people were highly vulnerable, a situation that the Secretary-General had described as both an environmental and a social justice crisis. She also pointed out that women were affected twice as much as men.62 The Human Rights Council has expressed concern that the adverse effects of climate change are felt most acutely by those segments of the population already in vulnerable situations owing to factors such as minority status. 63 58. The report of the Secretary-General on the impacts of climate change on the human rights of people in vulnerable situations informed the aforementioned Human Rights Council panel discussion. In the report, the Secretary-General highlighted that climate change impacts could vary based on a number of factors, including religion, race and cultural or ethnic background. He also underscored that multiple forms of discrimination could combine, overlap or intersect, especially in the experiences of people in vulnerable situations. 64 During the panel discussion, speakers noted the need to recognize the intersection between racial, environmental and climate injustice, stressing that intersecting risk factors were a particular 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 12 References to Kosovo shall be understood to be in the context of Security Council resolution 1244 (1999).
