Resisting the Growing Power of Transnational Corporations in Latin America and the Caribbean

This report provides a compilation and summary of eight national assessments conducted by Friends of the Earth Latin America and the Caribbean (ATALC) member organisations. It examines the increasing power of transnational corporations within the energy and agriculture sectors and the neoliberal policy frameworks that enable this concentration of power.

• The report synthesises eight national assessments focusing on the increasing influence of transnational corporations in the energy and agriculture sectors, highlighting how specific legislative and policy changes have enabled this concentration of power.
• The concentration of corporate power, supported by government complicity and neoliberal economic models, results in various negative consequences for people, with women experiencing more significant violations of their rights.
• Civil society movements and organisations are advocating at the United Nations for a new, legally-binding human rights treaty to regulate the conduct of transnational corporations.
