CiR2P

About

oUr mission

CiR2P seeks to bring together the climate and R2P (atrocity prevention) communities, with government, industry and civil society, to develop and implement policies and programs to protect vulnerable human populations from climate-related catastrophes or traditional atrocity situations. We believe that each community has something to offer the other in the service of human protection.

The CiR2P Toolbox was created to help achieve our mission.

CiR2P focuses on UK, US and EU government policies and programs as related to Syria, Sudan and Myanmar (as the predominant countries of climate and R2P concern identified in the scholarly literature).

oUr wORK

  • CiR2P publishes research and analysis for policymakers that identifies the opportunities available to Western governments and their agencies (UK, US and EU) to integrate climate action strategies into policies and programs on Syria, Sudan and Myanmar.
  • CiR2P seeks to work closely with the UK, US and EU to help it develop and implement traditional human protection policies and programs that consider the opportunities and risks posed by climate change.
  • CiR2P seeks to collaborate with governments, international organisations, businesses, and civil society (academics and NGOs) operating in, or with a strong interest in, Syria, Sudan, and Myanmar to help establish climate-informed human protection programs.
