‘It’s a road to destruction’: climate defenders facing surge in reprisals, says UN expert Mary Lawlor, UN special rapporteur for human rights defenders, accuses US, UK and other governments of paying lip service to climate goals while criminalizing activists

“Attacks against #climatedefenders have surged, and we now see outright repression against people who are organizing for climate action."
"It’s some of the states that have claimed to be the strongest supporters of human rights defenders, that are most often repressing climate activists."

Right to Life in the ICJ Advisory Opinion on Climate Change The ICJ Advisory Opinion of 23 July 2025 on states’ obligations in respect of climate change is, for many reasons, pathbreaking. Some of such features pertain to international human rights law. Ramind...

In closing, UN Special Rapporteur on climate change Elisa Morgera highlights the need to listen to the challenges #ClimateDefenders face, urging UN actors to work with defenders and media to build fair narratives that protect participation and advance a world benefiting all.

‪Ann Harrison of @amnesty.org stresses that climate justice hinges on defenders' participation. Visa barriers, shrinking activism space & restrictions at climate talks undermine voices from the Global South. #ClimateDefenders must be heard to deliver real climate justice.

Having met #ClimateDefenders across 26 EU countries, Africa & Asia, Michel Forst highlights threats they face: stigmatisation, criminalisation & surveillance for demanding #ParisAgreement action. He calls on States to consider the new Guidelines to protect their rights.

“Resolution 40/11 remains a landmark in recognizing the vital role of environmental defenders globally,” notes Yves Lador of @earthjustice.org.

As #COP30 approaches, he underscores opportunity to advance protection of #ClimateDefenders, building on the Special Rapporteur on climate change’s report.

Photo of a person, Michael, smiling. Text reads Aerial 7 Trial 24 Feb-15 March 2025 Wellington District Court

Orange background image of a person, Michael, smiling. Text reads - I take action for the climate because it's one of the most meaningful things I could possibly imagine doing with my life. Taking action connects me to a wider world of people and places and animals that I love. I take action on the climate because I can. When I compare my circumstances and my life to those of many other people in Aotearoa and in other parts of the world I have some privileges and freedoms and advantages that I try not to take for granted. I want everyone to be free and safe.

Michael is 1 of 5 people who in 2022 took extraordinary action out of love & care for the world we all live in. This group of #climatedefenders are in wk 2 of a jury trial for their peaceful protest. 🙏 Please donate to support. See link in bio

In Taree Courthouse today more #ClimateDefenders thank you!

Using a #HumanRights framework to make transparate regular reports to the public about how our #ProtestFramework is holding up would be more than welcome - it would be revolutionary in helping restore trust in institutions and politics. We #ClimateDefenders could even come along for the ride.
