Global Witness
Global Witness is an investigative, campaigning organisation. We expose how the industries fuelling the climate crisis profit from destruction, and stand with the people fighting back to defend their communities and their rights.
Using cutting-edge investigative methods, we shine a light on the financial and political systems that enable corporate abuses of power that harm people and planet. We work with the people who are directly impacted to ensure they are protected from threats when speaking out, and included in climate decision-making as the world transitions to clean energy.
