Phasing out coal
HRW exposes fossil fuel harms, including to health. In 2023 they will follow up on work in Bosnia and South Africa and launch new research in a fossil fuel-producing country like Russia. They will also continue global advocacy aimed at ending international public financing for coal and other fossil fuels.
Decarbonization
We will support effective projects that reduce emissions but are not profitable enough to happen on their own, this can for example be building renewable energy to replace fossil fuels in remote locations. We will also support civil society organizations that are effective in advancing efforts to accelerate the phase-out of fossil fuels. We are also open to projects that reduce emissions of other greenhouse gases, such as methane and nitrous oxide.
Advocacy
Climate advocacy refers to actions and efforts aimed at raising awareness, influencing public opinion, and driving policy changes related to climate change. Such initiatives can be highly impactful, bringing about systemic technological, market, and human behavior changes necessary to address climate change, as well as speed up decarbonization and avoid carbon lock-in in emerging economies. The need for policy advocacy and mobilizing financing for policy change is also voiced by international organizations, national governments, and other actors.
