The climate crisis
is a rights crisis.
CULR investigates the human consequences of climate change and works at the intersection of evidence, law and human rights.
Climate change is not only an environmental issue. It is a question of power, responsibility and fundamental rights.
Four principles guide our work.
Climate
We examine the environmental changes, industries and decisions reshaping communities, ecosystems and livelihoods.
Understanding
We transform complex climate, corporate and policy questions into clear research, evidence and public understanding.
Law
We connect environmental harm with legal obligations, accountability mechanisms and pathways for change.
Rights
We place human dignity, communities and fundamental rights at the centre of the climate conversation.
Following the consequences.
Environmental harm is rarely distributed equally.
Those with the least power often carry the greatest cost.
Accountability begins by making those consequences visible.
CULR conducts research, analysis and advocacy intended to strengthen public understanding and advance accountability for climate-related harm.
