Global Witness

Global Witness is a pioneering organization dedicated to ensuring a sustainable, just, and equal planet. Founded in 1993, it focuses on the interconnections between natural resources, climate change, and human rights, tackling issues that impact communities and the environment worldwide. Global Witness campaigns against the exploitation of fossil fuels and deforestation while championing the rights of land and environmental defenders who stand up to climate-wrecking industries.

With over 25 years of advocacy experience, Global Witness has led high-profile campaigns that have resulted in significant legislative reforms, such as the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative and the Responsible Sourcing Regulation. Their investigations expose the environmental and human rights abuses prevalent in sectors like oil, gas, mining, and timber, working to hold governments and corporations accountable for their actions.

Through vigilant research and impactful storytelling, Global Witness seeks justice for marginalized communities disproportionately affected by the climate crisis, striving for a world where biodiversity thrives and corporate actions align with the interests of people and the planet.
