CIEL recognizes the growing connection between threats to the global
environment and basic human rights. In 1998, we established the
Human Rights and Environment (HRE) Program in order to identify
and develop connections between international environmental law
and human rights law, to integrate the theoretical and advocacy
approaches of the two movements, and to promote a more just, equitable
and sustainable approach to development and natural resource management.
Our activities include providing legal and technical support to
indigenous and other local communities, and carrying out collaborative
research and skill-sharing to promote and strengthen the development
of legal tools to protect both human rights and the environment.
