A/69/274 F. Housing as part of the global agenda 83. In the coming months, the post-2015 global development agenda will be finalized and adopted. As several independent experts have observed during consultations at the national, regional and international levels, as well as throughout various negotiations, this process has the potential to make a contribution to the enjoyment of human rights by billions of people. The Special Rapporteur shares the view that a global agenda needs to prioritize the elimination of inequalities, by enhancing social protection, participation and accountability. The Special Rapporteur will closely monitor the outcome of the remaining discussions, in particular in relation to the inclusion of housing rights and broader economic and social rights standards and accountability mechanisms in the goals and indicators of the agenda. 84. A second global event of particular relevance for the mandate holder is the United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat III) to be held in 2016. The Special Rapporteur intends to contribute to that process on the understanding that human rights can be a central and transformative component of strategies for addressing urbanization and sustainability, which present themselves now, more than ever before, as immense challenges and opportunities. 85. There are a number of issues that are global or transnational in scope and that have a direct impact on the right to adequate housing in many countries. Global actors such as transnational corporations and multilateral or bilateral financial institutions, and United Nations agencies play signific ant roles in relation to the right to adequate housing. The actions of transnational extractive industries or development projects, sometimes initiated and overseen by multiple partners, including international financial institutions, may have far-reaching effects on the right to adequate housing, including large-scale displacements, the destruction of sources of livelihood and forced evictions. Similarly, trade and investment agreements and investor dispute mechanisms increasingly involve important issues of public policy and often fail to ensure the consideration of fundamental rights such as the right to adequate housing. These problems have led to important work to assess and clarify issues of corporate accountability, extraterritorial obligations and human rights in relation to trade and investment agreements. The Special Rapporteur expects to be actively engaged with respect to these emerging issues as they relate to the right to adequate housing. 86. In undertaking these tasks, the Rapporteur wishes to underscore the importance of cooperation with key international actors and partners to enhance the protection of the right to adequate housing at the global level. In the coming months, the Special Rapporteur intends to devote time and effort to engaging with States in all regions, and also with United Nations agencies and entities, including UN-Habitat, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the United Nations Development Programme, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. 87. The Special Rapporteur values and will continue to nurture the long -standing cooperation that the mandate holder has developed with civil society organizations, community organizations and regional and international networks around the world, 14-58890 19/20
