Without campaigning, there is no change.
Ecological campaigns involve hard work, imagination, struggle and risk. Our research aims to support movements for environmental justice, ecological protection and governance reform with new concepts, analysis and inquiry.
These are campaigns you may wish to consider.
Coal Elimination Treaty
Under this proposal -
an initiative of the PPI -
the world would eliminate 40 per cent of global greenhouse emissions by 2030 and save millions of lives this century.
Environmental Defenders
Environmental defenders are being harassed and murdered in their hundreds each year: a double crime against people and against nature.
Universal Declaration of River Rights
In support of its campaign to establish rights for all rivers, the Earth Law Center has teamed up with experts to develop a draft Universal Declaration of River Rights. This declaration draws from victories for the rights of rivers worldwide, as well as scientific understandings of healthy river systems.
The Fossil Fuel NPT
This treaty proposal - an initiative of Peter Newell & Andrew Simms - aims to phase out all fossil fuel use. It has three pillars paralleling those of the nuclear NPT: non-proliferation (not to exploit new reserves), disarmament (managed decline of fossil fuel infrastructures) and peaceful use (financing of low carbon alternatives via a Global Transition Fund).
Lock The Gate
The Lock the Gate Alliance is a national grassroots organisation made up of over 120,000 supporters and more than 450 local groups who are concerned about risky coal mining, coal seam gas and fracking. These groups are located in all parts of Australia and include farmers, traditional custodians, conservationists and urban residents.
