WYCJ Asia
Reach Out to the Asian Front Team
Asia’s expanse and geographical diversity has made it one of the most adversely and disparately affected landmass by climate change.
At WYCJ Asia, we are young stubborn optimists who believe that an Advisory Opinion from the ICJ would serve as a concrete legal tool to mitigate the climate crisis. To materialise this, the Asian-front seeks to legitimise the WYCJ campaign all across the continent and be put on the political agendas of Asian countries to combat climate change.
Sign-on statement to support the development of the ASEAN Peoples Declaration on Environmental Rights
Show your support for the development of an ASEAN Peoples Declaration on Environmental Rights! A draft declaration will be submitted to the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR) for consideration and deliberation.
The draft declaration aims to embody principles and provisions that respond to the environmental and human rights challenges in the ASEAN. It intends to have a participatory and inclusive process, ensuring that marginalized and vulnerable groups have meaningful involvement and geographical representation of all ASEAN countries.
