There is no place in the climate movement or anywhere for bullying and harassment
Summary
Climate Outreach expresses shock over an investigation into the ex-CEO of Climate Action Network International, describing the findings as a "damning indictment of (male) power and privilege." In response, the organisation commits to reviewing its anti-harassment policies, improving staff reporting processes, ensuring Board of Trustees independence, and diversifying senior management to improve gender balance.
Key insights
- The investigation into the former CEO of Climate Action Network International (CANI) revealed an abuse of position and systemic failures within the network to identify or prevent such behaviour, which Climate Outreach describes as a "damning indictment of (male) power and privilege."
- Climate Outreach is implementing four specific actions to prevent abuse and bullying: reviewing anti-harassment policies with an external consultant, creating processes for staff to report concerns to managers or the Board, reviewing the independence of the Board of Trustees, and diversifying senior management recruitment to improve gender balance.
- The European Climate Foundation (ECF) is in preliminary talks with partners to appoint an ombudsman to investigate complaints across the international climate movement.
