Para bukas. For tomorrow.
Parabukas envisions a world filled with empowered and informed communities working together towards sustainable development for the good of all people, preventing and addressing the worst impacts of the climate and environmental crises while supporting the most vulnerable.
Parabukas is a women-led, Asia-based international consultancy focused on laws and policies related to climate change, the environment, and sustainable development. Our goal is to enable and enhance the understanding of complex legal language, concepts, and processes around these issues to improve inclusiveness and participation by decision-makers and stakeholders. Ultimately, we want to empower those most affected by environmental degradation and associated social problems to address them practically and effectively.
Our mission is to To bridge the gap between and among decision makers and vulnerable communities, facilitating a rights-based approach to climate, environment, and development through our legal and policy expertise.
Legal and policy frameworks play a central function in making the world we envision a reality. Whether they are in place; whether they work, how well, and for whom; and whether they are understood and respond to real needs, are critical questions to ask.
We work in widely diverse contexts and at multiple levels, harnessing not only technical knowledge but also creative and collaborative approaches. We offer distinct developing-country perspectives in the extensive field of international environmental law.
