Stop special actions, defend room for manoeuvre
With your donation, you support PowerShift in making ISDS special rights lawyers visible and building political pressure for their abolition. ISDS is much more than a technical detail in commercial law: it enables corporations and investors to sue states before private arbitration courts – putting climate protection, social standards and democratic decisions under pressure.
PowerShift researches these mechanisms, makes their consequences public and contributes them to political debates. With independent analyses, media work and targeted advocacy, we are committed to removing ISDS from agreements and defending democratic room for manoeuvre.
Your tax-deductible donation enables exactly this work: independent research, comprehensible education and political pressure for a fairer, more democratic and climate-friendly policy.

We work transparently
PowerShift supports the Transparent civil society initiative. The initiative has defined ten fundamental points that any civil society organisation should make available to the public. This includes articles of association, decision-makers as well as information on the source of funds, use of funds and personnel structure.
