HRC 62 The Snow Leopard and Transboundary Linear Infrastructure in High-Mountain Ecosystems: Climate Risks, Ecological Connectivity and Human Rights
On 2 July 2026, from 10:00 to 11:00, United Villages will host a side-event at the Palais des Nations, Room XI, on the margins of the 62nd Session of the UN Human Rights Council. CAP Liberté de Conscience is proud to be a partner of this event.
The conference will explore the intersection of climate change, biodiversity loss, and human rights through the lens of one of the world’s most iconic endangered species: the snow leopard. The discussion will focus on the threats posed by transboundary linear infrastructure — railways, roads, and energy corridors — to high-mountain ecosystems, ecological connectivity, and the communities that depend on them.
