STRIVE Project

STRIVE – Strengthening the Rule of Law through Innovative Voices in Europe is CILD’s new project to strengthen the climate justice frontlines in Italy and across Europe.

As the climate crisis intensifies, more and more communities are seeing their fundamental rights threatened by political inaction and environmental harm. But the law can be a powerful tool.

Through STRIVE we will:

• analyse the most advanced climate justice jurisprudence in Europe and Italy,
• build a strategic response with lawyers, activists and NGOs,
• activate a legal triage service for new climate cases, with a focus on the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights.

Our goal is to bring climate justice where it is most needed: into courtrooms, across affected territories, and among those speaking out for change. The project is funded by the Civil Liberties Union for Europe as part of the STRIVE initiative – Strengthening the Rule of Law through Innovative Voices in Europe.
