CAD provides emergency response and safety resources, while building a support network inside the climate justice movement. The organization works in a holistic security framework, centering those most affected by the climate crisis and the fossil fuel industry. With the increasing risk of criminalisation and the climate crisis at the doorstep, CAD aims to ensure CJAs in risk can continue fighting at the front of the global climate movement.
Climate Activist Defenders (CAD) aims to protect the lives and well-being of frontline climate justice activists (CJAs) working under oppressive and dangerous conditions.
