Global Witness is an international NGO which investigates environmental and human rights abuses.
The organisation, which has offices in London, Washington, D.C. and Brussels, explores how diamonds and other natural resources can fund conflict or fuel corruption. It carries out investigations into the involvement of specific individuals and business entities in activities such as illegal and unsustainable forest exploitation, and corruption in oil, gas and mining industries, and campaigns for greater representation of people affected by the climate crisis in climate decision-making.
