Who we are

Imagine...you could cut off the money supply of climate killers, prevent a nuclear power plant from being built, strengthen human rights in development projects and block loans for cluster bombs. The environmental and human rights organisation Urgewald stands for all of this.

What others say about Urgewald

Urgewald starts exactly where the problems arise: in the boardrooms of politics and business. With this “lever” a comparatively small organization can achieve great things. It is a pleasure for me to support you.

It is aimed directly at the Achilles heel of these enterprises: the money.
