Environment & Climate Change
Environment & Climate Change
Our Environment and Climate Change Program focuses on policy advocacy, research, and integrating local challenges and knowledge into policy discussions. We are advocating for amendments to environmental court laws to empower citizens. In collaboration with our network partners, we promote the implementation of air pollution regulations through awareness campaigns, capacity building, and monitoring. We also enhance the capacity of lawyers and civil society organizations (CSOs) in environmental law.
On climate change, we work alongside local partners to identify how climate change affects communities and amplify their voices by engaging policymakers through advocacy and campaigns.
