We want to build a world that protects people and the planet from climate change. We believe that progress on climate change cannot succeed without protecting human rights - and the fight for human rights cannot succeed without protecting our planet against climate change. To achieve this, we work in partnership with local and international groups to document how human rights violations contribute to climate change, and how climate change contributes to human rights abuses. We use our high-level contacts to press governments and corporations to take urgent action to end abuses, limit greenhouse gas emissions, and protect vital carbon sinks. And we partner with activists and affected communities to demand justice and accountability from powerful interests that put their lives and their children's lives at risk.
Research & Documentation
We conduct careful, on-the-ground investigations into the human rights consequences of climate change. We compile these findings into reports, press releases, briefing papers, letters, commentary, and analysis.
Advocacy
We use our extensive contacts to take our findings and those of partner organizations to policymakers and decision-makers in governments, the U.N., companies, financial institutions, and others to press for change.
Media
We expose climate-related human rights violations and harms to the public through high-impact media engagement on broadcast and print media, social media, and our own audio-visual productions.
Partnerships
We work in partnership with local communities, environmentalists, lawyers, journalists, climate activists, climate scientists, the tech industry, and others. Most importantly, we aim to ensure that those on the frontlines of climate change and environmental destruction are at the forefront of discussions and policymaking about solutions.
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
