Felix Horne has two decades of experience investigating the human rights and environmental impacts of fossil fuel development, mining, and climate change. Before joining CRI, Felix spent over a decade as a senior researcher at Human Rights Watch, where he led field investigations and advocacy campaigns on the climate and human rights dimensions of air pollution, fossil fuel infrastructure, and the extractive industries. He previously covered a wide range of rights issues in the Horn of Africa, including digital repression, forced displacement, restrictions on civil society and protests, and the impacts of commercial agriculture and development projects on Indigenous communities. Felix has testified before the U.S. Congress, the European Parliament, and Canadian parliamentary committees, and has appeared regularly in and written for global media.
Prior to Human Rights Watch, Felix worked across Canada’s Arctic, including with Indigenous land management authorities and environmental regulators, focusing on impact assessments, traditional indigenous knowledge, and climate policy.
