The document outlines the 40-year history and strategic framework of Friends of the Earth International (FoEI), a global federation of 76 member groups. It argues that environmental destruction, poverty, and human rights violations are systemic issues rooted in a neoliberal economic model. FoEI's approach focuses on 'mobilizing, resisting, and transforming' through key concepts such as climate justice, ecological debt, and food sovereignty. The report details specific campaigns against extractive industries, GMOs, and deforestation, while highlighting the role of grassroots activism and international solidarity in achieving policy changes and protecting indigenous rights.

• FoEI has evolved from a small group of activists from France, Sweden, the UK, and the US into a global federation with 76 member organizations and over two million supporters worldwide.
• The organization identifies the neoliberal economic model as the primary driver of current environmental and social crises, arguing that it prioritizes corporate profit and overconsumption over ecological safeguards and human rights.
• FoEI utilizes several core political concepts to frame its advocacy: 'environmental space' (equitable resource consumption), 'ecological debt' (the debt of industrialized North nations to the South), 'food sovereignty' (the right of peoples to define their own food systems), and 'climate justice' (equitable resource sharing and accountability for those who caused the climate crisis).
• The federation actively opposes 'false solutions' to the climate crisis that are market-based or potentially dangerous, specifically citing clean coal, nuclear energy, biofuels, carbon trading, large hydroelectric dams, and carbon capture and storage.
• FoEI's campaigns have targeted specific multinational corporations for environmental and human rights abuses, including Shell, Rio Tinto, Monsanto, and ArcelorMittal.
• The organization has achieved significant policy and legal successes, including a de facto moratorium on new GMOs in Europe since 1998, the 2008 Climate Change Act in the UK, and the prohibition of metal extraction in Costa Rica.
