Organisation
FairPlanet is a global non-profit social enterprise and solutions media organisation founded in 2014 in Berlin. We operate a global network of over 200 specialised journalists and experts in 60 countries researching in the field in more than 100 countries across all continents.
Mission statement
At FairPlanet, we report on human rights and environmental justice and support Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) worldwide. To do so, we spotlight local solutions globally relevant to our era's crucial challenges. We inform independently, raise awareness and mobilise our global community to create sustainable impact and positive change.
Funding
We are funded through donations, project work and grants. We apply a global equal pay system whereby we settle all colleagues worldwide equitably.
Community, reach and impact
We have a community of 495,000+ followers and subscribers on Social Media and our newsletters and reach on average 2 million people per month worldwide.
So far, we have published thousands of reports, articles and videos about human rights, civil rights and environmental justice. We have supported hundreds of international and local organisations, social enterprises, campaigns and petitions.
Editorial principles
We believe that for public attitudes to shift ethically and for civic engagement on core issues to grow, people need access to substantive and independently-sourced information that originates from the direct perspective of stakeholders. All the while, The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals constitute essential pillars of our editorial guidelines.
FairPlanet strives to extend beyond reporting and seeks to contribute to the improvement of the lives of people, other living beings and their habitats through solution-oriented journalism and campaigns.

Read: Our daily EDITORS' PICKS give insight into current affairs. Our STORIES explore the origins of globally relevant problems and the local initiatives attempting to solve them. Our coverage assesses the tangible impact of these solutions while producing insight that can inspire others to take action as well. Our OP EDs provide expert opinions on human rights and environmental justice matters.
Debate: we publish DOSSIERS and long-form DEVELOPING STORIES, which foster online and offline discussions about global humanitarian and environmental issues. Journalists, filmmakers, and organisations provide an emotional perspective on the world's most pressing issues through our CREATIVE SERIES.
Engage: FairPlanet's editors' research and promote organisations, projects and campaigns that articulate the voices of affected communities and aim to tackle the issues we address in our articles, giving our readers credible ways to advocate for and bring about positive change.
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.
