Loss of social rights and access to public services

Mitigation strategy

1. **Implement a Rights-Based Policy Framework and Due Diligence**: Institutionalize a human rights-based approach (HRBA) across all relevant governmental, corporate, and inter-organizational mechanisms to proactively identify, prevent, and mitigate adverse impacts on social rights. This requires integrating human rights due diligence to assess risks to people (e.g., in work, health, and education) and establishing binding legal or policy commitments (Source 1, 11, 13, 16, 20). 2. **Mobilize Equitable and Progressive Financial Resources**: Establish and adequately fund mechanisms, both domestic and international, by adopting innovative, equitable, and progressive financing measures (e.g., carbon taxes, wealth taxes, levies on high-polluting sectors) to measurably advance the effective enjoyment of economic, social, and cultural rights, and protect against debt increases for the most affected (Source 1, 14, 15). 3. **Enhance Social Protection and Guarantee Access to Justice**: Strengthen and expand social protection measures—including cash transfers, benefits, and subsidized services—to ensure an adequate standard of living and security against livelihood loss. Concurrently, establish effective, transparent, and participatory mechanisms to guarantee equal and effective access to justice and prompt reparation for harm suffered, upholding the right to remedy (Source 1, 15).
