The organization is also dedicated to promoting sustainable environmental use, climate change mitigation, human rights and land rights of vulnerable communities.

The organization was formed in 2019 to promote and advocate for the protection of environment and human rights for vulnerable groups particularly women, youths, elderly and others in communities affected by the oil activities, and other projects.

Through lobbying, research and community education, CCEI works with communities and leaders to ensure that clean energy resources are utilised in a way that promotes equitable development, environmental conservation and respect for human rights.

The organization also monitors government actions, conducts research, provides educational materials, develop science-based strategies, organize projects affected communities, coalesce with other civil society organizations and international organizations to common causes, and engages leaders at all levels to ensure that natural resources are utilised in a way that leads to equitable development, environmental conservation, respect for human rights and climate change aspects.
