What it asks for, in the Parliament's words

• Requests increased political and financial support for environmental rights defenders and systematically condemns reprisals against them
• Calls on the Secretariat of the UNFCCC to develop, together with the parties to the Convention, a common legal framework for climate justice
• Calls on the Union and its Member States to support, at the next UN General Assembly, the global recognition of the right to a safe, clean, healthy and sustainable environment

Quoted from A9-0039/2021, which says more than these lines. Each is a whole paragraph; this site does not rewrite them.
