The climate crisis is a crisis against humanity.
These are the first words of the summary of a new report published by NGO Global Witness on the state of violence against land & environment defenders across the world, those who are defending their homes, land and livelihoods, and ecosystems vital for biodiversity and the climate.
In 2020, 227 murders have been reported, the worst year ever recorded with over half of attacks took place in just three countries: Colombia, Mexico and the Philippines.
To better understand what's causing these attacks, who's behind them and Europe's key role in defending the defenders and holding business accountable, we spoke to Rachel Cox, campaigner at Global Witness.
