Organization Description

UUSC is a human rights organization. We work with the most marginalized communities around the world to advance their human rights. We do this through grant-making, research and advocacy. Our environmental justice and climate action program focuses on increasing the resilience of affected communities by establishing and elevating their rights in decision making processes at the local, state and international levels. At the moment, we are focusing on 3 main issues: (i) advancing and protecting the rights of peoples displaced by climate change, as well as increasing the engagement of these communities in the policy processes that involve mitigation, adaptation, finance and technology to avoid their displacement and to enhance their resilience. (ii) Additionally, we are also focusing on addressing the systemic barriers and discrimination that affected marginalized communities experience during and after a natural disaster when accessing humanitarian aid, as well as ensuring that their rights are respected in humanitarian assistance by the State and other entities, and (iii) we also work to advance women's rights and gender equity in climate action
