COP 27 Legal Protection Guide

During COP27 in Sharm El-Sheik, Egypt in 2022, CliDef provided direct legal services to climate activists who found themselves in legal trouble while attending the annual UN conference. 

CliDef worked with partners and local human rights lawyers to ensure legal safety for climate activists. This included rapidly supporting legal and financial resources, preparing legal toolkits, and “Know-Your-Rights” training with global coalitions to legal and climate activists prior to COP27.
