Notwithstanding their indisputable benefits, climate change mitigation and adaptation activities can negatively impact the environment and human rights. Accordingly, multilateral funds and programmes financing these activities have increasingly adopted environmental and social safeguards. However, enforcing these safeguards has been difficult because of the lack of or shortcomings affecting complaint procedures provided by multilateral climate finance institutions to individuals and groups negatively impacted by the activities that the institutions support. This article assesses the effectiveness of the complaint procedures of the main multilateral climate funds and carbon market mechanisms; it highlights the limitations of alternative complaint options, including project- and implementing entity-level grievance mechanisms and judicial avenues; and it reflects on the need for effective complaint procedures at the international level to further a human rights-based green transition.

加强多边气候基金和碳市场的投诉机制：迈向基于人权的绿色转型的关键一步

尽管减缓和适应气候变化活动具有无可争议的好处，但也可能对环境和人权产生负面影响。因此，资助这些活动的多边基金和方案越来越多地采取环境和社会保障措施。然而，执行这些保障措施一直很困难，因为多边气候融资机构向受到该机构支持的活动负面影响的个人和团体提供的投诉程序缺乏或存在缺陷，影响了投诉程序。本文评估了主要多边气候基金和碳市场机制投诉程序的有效性；它强调了替代投诉选项的局限性，包括项目和实施实体层面的申诉机制和司法途径；它反映了国际层面有效投诉程序的必要性，以推动基于人权的绿色转型。
