Latin America Campaigner, Environmental Governance Team
Global Witness investigates and campaigns to end natural resource-related conflict and corruption and associated environmental and human rights abuses. For 17 years, we have led pioneering international campaigns to create a growing international awareness of the links between poor governance, exploitation of natural resources and environmental degradation, and human rights abuse. Our powerful advocacy work has been a driver behind major international mechanisms and initiatives established to address these issues.
Our work is conducted under three themes:
- Environmental governance: with the aim of ensuring sustainable and accountable local and international governance of forests, land and other environmental resources that maintains vital ecological functions and promotes development benefits based on recognition of the rights of rural and forest communities to land and livelihoods;
- Ending corruption: with the aim of changing the international norm so it is no longer possible or acceptable to engage in or enable corrupt activities involving natural resources;
- Ending conflict: with the aim of securing an international trade, finance, investment and development system free of natural resource-related conflict.
