The climate crisis
is a rights crisis.
CULR investigates the human consequences of climate change and works at the intersection of evidence, law and human rights.
Climate change is not only an environmental issue. It is a question of power, responsibility and fundamental rights.
Four principles guide our work.
Climate
We examine the environmental changes, industries and decisions reshaping communities, ecosystems and livelihoods.
Understanding
We transform complex climate, corporate and policy questions into clear research, evidence and public understanding.
Law
We connect environmental harm with legal obligations, accountability mechanisms and pathways for change.
Rights
We place human dignity, communities and fundamental rights at the centre of the climate conversation.
Following the consequences.
Investigation at depth.
CULR collaborates with INTERPRT, an independent organisation specialising in spatial environmental investigations. INTERPRT carries out field research, mapping and analysis on our behalf — uncovering evidence of environmental harm, corporate accountability and human rights violations linked to the climate crisis.

ECOCIDE
Serious environmental harm must be recognized in law.
CULR works to advance accountability for widespread, long-lasting or severe damage to the environment. We support efforts to establish ecocide as an international crime — holding states and corporations responsible when environmental destruction violates fundamental rights and planetary boundaries.
Through research, legal analysis and collaboration with INTERPRT, we document environmental harm and contribute evidence toward accountability frameworks that treat ecocide as a matter of justice, not collateral damage.
Environmental harm is rarely distributed equally.
Those with the least power often carry the greatest cost.
Accountability begins by making those consequences visible.
CULR conducts research, analysis and advocacy intended to strengthen public understanding and advance accountability for climate-related harm.
