  • Since

    1998

Established in 1998 as a registered non-profit entity under the Indian Company's Act 1956, Public Advocacy Initiatives for Rights and Values in India Read more(PAIRVI) is a proactive organisation dedicated to capacity building and advocacy support. PAIRVI operates at the nexus of rights, development, and sustainability, partnering with grassroots organisations and community groups to enrich their grasp of developmental discourse and their ability to respond effectively. At its core, PAIRVI collaborates with a pan-Indian coalition, MAUSAM (Movement for Advancing Understanding on Sustainability and Mutuality), formerly known as Beyond Copenhagen, concentrating on climate and environmental justice. The organisation's pursuits revolve around policy analysis, programme engagement, and fostering community responses that champion sustainable development, climate change action, food sovereignty, and safeguarding people's rights. PAIRVI's focal point is marginalized populations, especially the most vulnerable, and its holistic interventions span from grassroots initiatives to national advocacy. Moreover, the organisation extends its influence globally by representing marginalized community viewpoints in international discussions concerning sustainable development, climate change, inequality, human rights, aid, and trade.

Programs

  • Climit Crisis Programme

    The organisation focuses on addressing the climate crisis, recognizing its potential to disrupt lives and hinder development, particularly affecting southern countries and communities reliant on natural resources. PAIRVI takes proactive steps to enhance Governments' and the global community's responses to both mitigating and adapting to these challenges. Its efforts extend to empowering vulnerable communities, bolstering their ability to adapt. Through active involvement, PAIRVI contributes to shaping national and subnational climate change policies, collaborating with international entities like the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Conference of Parties (COP), to ensure a comprehensive approach to tackling this urgent issue.

It aligns with Sustainable Development Goals, advocating for decentralized policy-making and transparent governance.
