Environment & ESCR

The Networkwide Project on Environment & ESCR aims to advance climate justice through facilitating human rights based collective action to challenge the structural drivers of environmental destruction and the climate crisis, and promote systemic solutions and alternatives which center the interests of people and the planet. We engage in collective advocacy, campaigns, member-to member capacity building and litigation.
