our WORK

That’s why we are working with Amnesty International, Oxfam, Global Witness, 350.org and Action Aid and others, to design an initiative focused on strengthening corporate accountability at the intersection of climate justice, economic justice and human rights. Together, we are working across sectors—where issues are most pronounced to lift up the voices of communities most affected by climate change, uncover the facts, and develop alliances to take action.

Part of our crucial work in helping to drive this effort involves leading the development of an overall initiative to help chart the path forward in the decisive decade, crafting reports, designing workshops, and building an imaginarium that will bring together people from wide-ranging backgrounds and points of view to explore topics including the future of finance to the future of health. By working together, we can build a tomorrow that is healthier, fairer, and more prosperous than today.

To make it happen, we’re creating an open, collaborative environment where we equip others with the tools they need to build a brighter future. Our work with the Global Recovery Collective involves doing everything we can to link leading climate, development, health, justice, and equality networks—new experimental partnerships can not only ask new questions, but they can offer new solutions.

We all know how important right now is in order to protect the planet and everyone around us, and our work helps people to make achievable, long-term changes. It includes the Stand Up: Take Action initiative, where we helped break a Guinness World Record for the largest number of people to take action on a single day across the world—273 million people.

World-renowned organisations including TED, Leaders Quest, IKEA, Arsenal FC, HSBC, FIFA, NHS, C40, BT, WWF, Natura & Co, and the International Olympic Committee are also vital partners helping us in our pursuit of change. Individually we can all make a huge difference, together we can change the world.

We developed and helped to scale The Elders’ Every Human Has Rights Campaign, which was chaired by Nelson Mandela. The work included organising multiple events in Glasgow, which resulted in a rally and the formation of a Youth Assembly, part of the CIVICUS World Assembly, which is a global gathering of inspired thinkers, leaders, and organisations looking to take on the world’s most difficult challenges.

Our work involved leading the secretariat of the world’s largest alliance of grassroots organisations working to end poverty and inequality. We supported historic campaigns such as Stand Up: Take Action, which broke a Guinness World Record in 2009 when 173 million people joined in (2.5% of the world’s population). 

Our work involved rallying organisations and NGOs to support strikes, speak up, and make change. We invited leaders to spread the word and mobilise their constituencies globally.

Our work involved bringing together volunteer centres, the National Lottery, youth organisations, and Oxfam.

Today, the Youth Assembly remains open for people and organisations across disparate sectors, themes, regions, and backgrounds to work together to solve important challenges.

Our work included unlocking the right to vote for 16 year olds, introducing transport subsidies for 16-18 year olds, and banning smoking in public places. We helped to spark dialogue between 14-25-year-olds to tackle sectarian violence and to address inequalities on the basis of age, race, gender, and sexual orientation.

We empowered the non-profit organisation to speak up, back strikes, and mobilise their constituencies across the world.

The group is dedicated to supporting important issues, including climate justice, gender justice, and the rights of workers, children, refugees, Indigenous peoples, and faith-based communities.

Our work involves campaigning and providing leadership when it comes to promoting public policies focused on equality rather than division. Goals include increasing tax contributions from the super wealthy, ensuring all citizens should enjoy political power equal to that experienced by millionaires, and ensuring every person who works full-time can afford basic needs.

Our work mobilized thousands of businesses to commit to bold climate action, including the establishment of a ‘Net-Zero by 2050’ initiative. The coalition now comprises companies with more than $20 trillion in combined market capitalization.
