Climate Justice Program

Our Climate Justice program addresses the human impacts of climate change. As the climate changes, the prevalence and ferocity of extreme weather events — severe heat waves, torrential rains, alarming floods, extensive droughts, and destructive wildfires — are increasing. Such events drastically affect peoples’ lives — their health, livelihood, housing, access to food and water, and personal security.

We listen to understand the perspectives and needs of people most at risk due to climate change, especially when those risks are being overlooked by policymakers. Our research results in recommendations to create new laws and policies, news articles, health and technology interventions, and industry guidance to better protect the human rights of people in affected communities.
