How can the UN, its member states and non-state actors meet current and future human rights challenges? This year marks the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. To commemorate this, The Norwegian Centre for Human Rights (NCHR) is delighted to invite you to an event with the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk.

Join us for the opening session of the Norwegian Centre for Human Rights (NCHR) 2023 Conference, where international and national key experts and stakeholders will share perspectives on how climate change, pollution, and loss of biodiversity affect the realization of human rights. 

Climate change, pollution and loss of biodiversity are serious threats to humanity. This conference focuses on how these issues affect the realization of human rights. 

Time and location: 26 - 27 October 2023 at the University of Oslo, Faculty of Law.

The Raoul Wallenberg Institute, the Norwegian Center for Human Rights, Åland Islands Peace Institute, and Galaxy Fund recently carried out a project on "SDG and human rights localization". It examines how local authorities and civil society organizations can cooperate in human rights localization processes, where local and subnational contexts are included and considered when implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
