Climate Rights & Justice International
Overcoming Adversity: A Future For All
A human rights-
driven response to the climate
crisis in Big Ocean Striving States (BOSS) and other vulnerable regions in the Americas and beyond, prioritizing social justice and the right to health.
About
We conduct groundbreaking, interdisciplinary research and advocacy, producing high-quality data, demanding a human rights-driven policy response to the climate crisis. We work to activate the right to health and amplify the voices of vulnerable and marginalized communities in Big Ocean Striving States and other vulnerable regions in the Americas and beyond.
Climate change is undermining human rights on a global scale—from growing threats to life and health from extreme weather events and vector-borne diseases, to food and water scarcity to housing insecurity and threats to democracy from socioeconomic instability. Until now, human rights law and norms have only played peripheral roles in our understanding of climate change and our efforts to achieve climate justice. This must change.
