Our legal research reports are just the start of this project - but legal research itself does not speak to the human side to this work. As we release our reports for each of the 46 countries we will also be spotlighting more of the human side - what climate justice means to those working in these countries and what efforts are already underway.
Find out how you can get involved or read our blog posts below for stories on what others are doing around climate justice and how our research fits in with their efforts.

This interview with Fithriyyah Iskandar, an environmental youth activist and doctor from Indonesia, covers the intersections of human and planetary health issues; the barriers that marginalised communities face when trying to engage with the judicial systems; and the problems with tokenistic involvement of children and young people by governments and organisations.
Every year on Earth day, it’s common to see messaging around recycling, saving electricity, walking to work and all the other ways in which we as individuals can reduce our impact on the environment. But individual action is not enough to tackle the scale of the climate crisis. As the recent IPCC report made clear, activism is key to tackling climate change.
Today we launch our project Children’s Access to Environmental Justice, in which we look at children’s environmental rights, and the laws and systems that affect them. We want to have conversations about how the law can be used to make children’s environmental rights a priority, and make it easier for those involved in youth climate activism to understand and use the law.
In this interview with Pedro Hartung, we hear about how the Alana Institute uses legal tools to address the fact that Brazilian children, and others in countries that have been historically colonised, are the most affected by climate injustice and violations due to lasting effects of colonial practice.
