Access to Environmental Justice
Access to justice for victims of climate change and environmental harm remains limited, undermining efforts to hold governments accountable. Strengthening the capacities of legal professionals and NHRIs, and promoting cross-sectoral coordination, is vital for enabling just transitions.
Improved access to environmental justice allows for more effective enforcement of equitable environmental laws. When prosecutors, lawyers, and NHRIs are equipped with relevant skills and knowledge, they can better investigate, build cases, and pursue legal action against those responsible for environmental degradation. Stronger collaboration with regional mechanisms also supports a holistic response to the legal, human rights, and environmental dimensions of these issues.
RAPP 2 addresses climate change and transboundary environmental challenges in Southeast Asia, integrating human rights and gender equality to ensure socially inclusive environmental protection. The programme supports efforts to operationalise regional commitments on environmental rights, particularly within ASEAN, by aligning national practices with regional principles and promoting a people-centered, rules-based approach.
Through capacity-building, research, and technical cooperation, RWI works to strengthen justice systems and help stakeholders implement environmental rights more effectively. In partnership with the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ), RWI is supporting the revision of the Rules of Procedure for Environmental Cases in the Philippines—enhancing judicial capacity and providing a model for rights-based procedural reforms across the region.

Charlie Meidino Albajili is a human rights lawyer and researcher with extensive experience advancing human rights and environmental justice in Southeast Asia, particularly in Indonesia.
He spent seven years at the Jakarta Legal Aid Institute, leading collaborative, research-based advocacy that drove major policy reforms. His work included a landmark 2021 court victory on Jakarta’s air pollution, which prompted the government to adopt a human rights-based pollution control plan, and a 2022 court victory on mental health disability discrimination, which spurred reforms to protect the rights of disabled public servants.
Charlie later joined Greenpeace Southeast Asia as an Urban Justice Campaigner, where he built cross-sectoral coalitions and led policy engagement to promote rights-based climate action. He also worked as an expert consultant for several NGOs, including Engage Media, supporting their campaign strategy on the impact of Indonesia’s new penal code on digital freedom, and the TIFA Foundation on strengthening protection for human rights and environmental defenders.
His recent research includes contributions to the Centre for Economic and Social Rights (CESR) and the Global Initiative for Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (GI-ESCR), focusing on rights-based climate finance and rights-based economy.
He holds a Master of Laws in Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights from the University of Essex, as a Chevening Scholar, and a Bachelor’s degree in Law from Parahyangan Catholic University.
