CIEL: Climate Change Impacts Case Studies

CIEL is collecting case studies on the impacts of climate change on vulnerable communities.

These case studies give voice to how climate change has and will have a direct and potentially devastating effect on the lives and livelihoods of millions of people around the world.

These case studies are posted on CIEL's website for use by the public (subject to any copyright restrictions reserved by the authors). These studies will also be used by CIEL to support climate change work in the areas of human rights, advocacy and policy development, adaptation, and education.

We invite your contribution. We are especially interested in hearing from members of affected communities, and NGOs and scholars who are working closely with these communities. Author's guidelines are available in English, Spanish and Chinese.

If you have any questions, please contact Stephen Porter at sporter@ciel.org.
