She leads on developing the policy and strategy work on climate change and human rights.

Chiara Liguori has two decades of international experience in the field of human human rights research, policy, advocacy and campaigning in addition to project management skills. She is currently focusing on environment and human rights, particularly on how human rights can support and strengthen the fight for climate justice. Chiara is the author of nine reports for Amnesty International as well as numerous articles and op-eds. My thematic expertise includes human rights implications of climate change, forced migration, statelessness, public security, gender-based violence, sexual and reproductive rights and housing rights. Chiara is used to representing the organisation she works for in international forums and to acting as a media spokesperson. She has also have lived in Mexico, UK, Haiti, Comoros, Belgium, and Spain.

With Steve Trent (Environmental Justice Foundation) Chiara Liguori (Amnesty International), Dottie Grace Guerrero (Global Justice Now), Mala Rao (NHS), Damien Short (Human Rights Consortium) at the advaya event Climate Justice: Rights for People & Planet. Climate change revolves around a question of global inequality and demonstrates the mass destruction fuelled by our consumerist growth economy. This was an evening of talks, panels, food, drinks, music and spoken-word exploring the human rights implications of the environmental crisis. We explored ecocide, globalisation, the growth-based economy, extreme energy, corporatisation, public health, and much more.
