Introduction to January’s “Environmental Justice and Human Rights” Collaboration

tree trunk

In January 2021 Earth Refuge is collaborating with two excellent NGOs aiming to bring you insightful, accessible, and practical content about environmental justice and human rights throughout the month. This webinar is an introduction to all three organisations, their overall missions and how they hope to move forward in tackling environmental injustices globally.

Human Rights Pulse is a platform that brings together human rights practitioners, policymakers, campaigners, and students to raise awareness of current human rights issues around the world and to promote solution-oriented discussion. Human Rights Pulse aims to make human rights discussions accessible, engaging, and practical, in creating content which promotes the values of democracy, sustainability, and human rights.

E&U For The Climate is an international student-led organisation driven by the commitment of young citizens to environmental protection working to advocate for sustainability and policy solutions that mitigate the environmental crisis whilst tackling both climate change and gender/social/ethnic/racial injustices.

Call for Papers

Hello!

We are delighted to share with you the ‘soft’ launch of Earth Refuge, the planet’s first legal think tank dedicated to climate migrants.

It is estimated that rising temperatures could generate up to 1 billion climate migrants by 2050. Earth Refuge is a research hub & educational platform that seeks to avert, minimize and confront this crisis, bringing together the voices of those directly affected and those with the means to help.

We hope to achieve this through analysing the state of the law in the climate migration field, monitoring the operation of legislative, judicial and executive branches and commenting on draft legislation and strategic documents.

We will also produce accessible legal toolkits and frameworks that do just that – frame the problem with a solution that works – and put them directly in the hands of people who need them. For more information visit our website: www.earthrefuge.org

Before the ‘official’ launch of the Earth Refuge on Monday, 14th December 2020, we are building our archive. To do so, we need your help!

This is a call for papers, think pieces and insights from legal experts, environmentalists, and anyone with experience or interest in this field.

Please submit your piece, idea or any questions you may have to [email protected] by Monday, 30th November 2020. The format for submission can be anything from a paper or a webinar to a podcast. The minimum length for written pieces is 400 words.

Thank you for all your support – here’s to securing a future for the planet and its people 🙂

With love,

Yumna and Stephanie
