Community climate justice

Bring the voices of island and coastal communities into responses to climate impacts.

The purpose

This project aims to help residents and community representatives understand, document and uphold their environmental rights. It draws on local women community mentors known as badienes gokh, neighbourhood delegates, community organisations and dialogue with authorities. This approach complements GOCEAN’s research and advocacy on climate loss and damage.

Within the programme

  • Hold workshops on climate and environmental rights
  • Train and support community representatives
  • Document residents’ observations and priorities
  • Support dialogue and access to information
