Founder of AllRise Impact and the AllRise Incubator, developing climate litigation initiatives.

My organisation

I am the founder of AllRise, which comprises the NGO AllRise Impact, developing climate litigation initiatives to address systemic problems. Among others we have filed a criminal complaint against Jair Bolsonaro to the International Criminal Court. We are continuously working on enlarging our portfolio and have set up the AllRise Incubator as a separate business unit, designed to develop products and services to enable and support climate litigation cases. The latest being the AllRise Climate Action Fund which we are planning to launch. The Fund’s purpose will be to invest in creating legal cases that address the Triple Planetary Crisis and are capable of attracting large-scale third-party funding and being successfully litigated in court.

About me

Johannes Wesemann is an entrepreneur and investor known for his work at the intersection of technology, law, and environmental activism. As the former managing director of Uber Austria, he played a key role in expanding the company's operations in the region. Later, he shifted his focus toward climate protection, founding AllRise, a hybrid NGO-commercial entity that leverages legal action to hold governments and corporations accountable for environmental destruction. Through initiatives like lawsuits against illegal deforestation in the Amazon and legal challenges against land sealing in Austria, Wesemann uses climate litigation to protect biodiversity and enforce environmental laws. He has also launched AllRise Incubator, a for-profit venture developing products and services that support climate lawsuits, including a whistleblower platform to gather evidence for legal cases. His work aims to create lasting systemic change by merging legal strategies with technological solutions.
