Voices of Latin America before the Inter-American Court

AIDA helped communities, organizations and civil society alliances across the continent to be heard through 15 briefs submitted to the Court, highlighting the impact of the climate emergency on indigenous peoples, women, children, people with diverse gender orientations and identities, and fragile ecosystems such as coral reefs.

We also submitted an organizational brief to the Court to demonstrate the existence of the right to a 'stable and secure climate' as part of the universal right to a healthy environment, and the obligations of governments to ensure it.

In a historic and symbolic event, community representatives, supported by AIDA, testified at public hearings to show how the climate crisis and environmental injustice are affecting their livelihoods and what they propose the Court should do to protect their rights.
