ALLRISE

Leveraging the law to fight climate crimes

WHO
WE ARE

AllRise is an innovative organisation that leverages the power of climate litigation to hold accountable those who knowingly and recklessly cause significant and widespread harm through environmental damage.

Our mission is to ensure that future acts of environmental destruction are prevented or prosecuted, safeguarding the planet for generations to come.

OUR
UNIQUE APPROACH

AllRise is made up of a dedicated team of recognised lawyers, scientists, environmental experts, communications specialists, financial engineers, and entrepreneurs.


With many years of experience in their respective fields, our team is committed to taking responsibility for the future of our planet.

A DUAL STRUCTURE FOR GREATER IMPACT

We are transforming AllRise from being a purely donation-based NGO into a self-sustaining ecosystem that drives both impact and financial return.
