As a long-term human rights donor and activist, I am thrilled that CRI is addressing a surprisingly overlooked aspect of the climate change crisis. While climate change is impacting all of us, it is disproportionately having devastating effects on the lives and livelihoods of the most vulnerable people on our planet. CRI takes the approach that people must be at the center of discussions and solutions to this existential crisis, while pressing governments to put people at the center of climate action, and companies to change the way they do business when it comes to deforestation and fossil fuel emissions. I proudly support CRI and hope you will, too.

Brad Adams is a global leader in the field of human rights. I’m honored to call him a colleague of many years and thrilled that he has formed Climate Rights International to work at the nexus of the climate crisis and human rights, highlighting the increasingly devastating human toll it is taking on communities around the world. He has curated a dream team with decades of experience working on human rights and the environment to address this existential challenge. Under Brad’s leadership, CRI is poised to do breakthrough work in the field. I hope you will support CRI with audacious generosity. Our future depends on what we do now.
