Swedwatch puts the priorities of rights holders at the centre in pursuit of three long-term goals:
Three perspectives are mainstreamed throughout Swedwatch’s work:
Climate
Climate change and environmental degradation are intimately connected with human rights impacts, why it is essential to apply a climate and environment lens in most issues and research areas.
Gender
Women are disproportionately affected by climate change and at risk of gender-based impacts in global supply chains, which is why gender is a key consideration in Swedwatch’s work.
Conflict
Business operations can have both positive and negative impacts in conflict-sensitive contexts. While companies can have a vital role to play in peacebuilding, their activities may also fuel tensions.
