Pairvi Associates

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.

PAIRVI champions a rights-based approach to sustainable development, highlighting the inadequacies of current economic models in addressing poverty, inequality, and resource overexploitation. It aligns with Sustainable Development Goals, advocating for decentralized policy-making and transparent governance. By enhancing public understanding of sustainable development, PAIRVI encourages active engagement in policy analysis and development. The organisation collaborates with UN entities such as the United Nations General Assembly, UN Environment, and more, actively participating in the Asia Pacific Regional CSOs Engagement Mechanism on Agenda 2030.

In the area of Food Sovereignty and Sustainable Agriculture, PAIRVI tackles the significant challenges posed by climate change to food and farming. It actively promotes food sovereignty, advocating for sustainable food production using natural and agroecological methods, fair pricing, and respect for farmers, along with equitable trade policies. PAIRVI collaborates closely with farmers, strengthening their ability to withstand challenges and improve their income, while also voicing their concerns on regional and global platforms. Additionally, the organisation explores the connections between energy, agriculture, and water policies. It also works towards securing land rights for both male and female farmers, pushing back against land takeovers and corporate influence in agriculture and its resources.

Focused on Human Rights, PAIRVI collaborates with grassroots organisations to safeguard these rights, advocate for globally recognized human rights principles, and closely monitor the state of human rights. Through its efforts, the organisation seeks to empower communities to effectively address human rights issues and enhance the overall human rights framework.
