Conservation projects in Kenya too often exclude those most affected. Land is enclosed, profits flow, rights are ignored & violated. It’s time to make free, prior & informed consent non-negotiable. Report by @ASF_NGO & FIDH:

In Kenya, communities living on ancestral land are being sidelined by conservancies — denied their rights, silenced, and left without access to justice. Land registration is the first step to dignity, autonomy & protection. 📘 Report by @ASF_NGO & FIDH:

In a groundbreaking advisory opinion, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights recognised the right to a healthy climate as a component of the right to a healthy environment. It had already recognised the latter in 2017. Time for the Council of Europe to catch up!.

Climate justice win! @IACourtHR elaborates legal obligations around a healthy climate as part of the right to a healthy environment. Meanwhile @coe still debates whether it should recognise it. Our answer? YES - we urge the Council to adopt a protocol to the European Convention!

Climate change is destroying entire ways of life & causing unprecedented human rights violations. In one week, an #ICJ advisory opinion could pave the way for climate reparations, accountability & long-overdue protections. Let's demand real, fair & enforceable climate action!
