This report marks the 40th anniversary of Friends of the Earth International (FoEI), detailing its evolution from a small group of activists into a global federation of 76 member groups with over 2 million members. It outlines the organization's mission to achieve environmental and social justice by resisting neoliberal economic models and promoting sustainable alternatives such as food sovereignty and climate justice.

• Friends of the Earth International (FoEI) has grown into a global federation comprising 76 national member groups and more than 2 million members and collaborators.
• The organization identifies the predominant neoliberal economic model as a primary driver of environmental and social crises, arguing that it benefits wealthy elites and corporations while impoverishing the poor and enabling the usurpation of natural resources.
• FoEI advocates for 'climate justice,' which asserts that people have a right to an equitable share of resources within ecological limits and that those historically responsible for the climate crisis in the Global North must provide funding for mitigation and resilience in developing countries.
• The organization promotes 'food sovereignty' as the right of peoples to healthy, culturally appropriate, and sustainably produced food, and the right to determine their own food and production systems over market demands.
• FoEI has achieved specific policy victories, including the 1982 International Whaling Commission moratorium on commercial whaling, the defeat of the OECD's Multilateral Trade Agreement in 1998, and the 2012 EU ban on illegal timber imports.
• The organization opposes 'false market solutions' to the climate crisis, such as carbon trading and emission offsets, claiming they prioritize investor profits over actual emission reductions.
• FoEI works to protect biodiversity and forests by opposing large-scale monoculture plantations and illegal logging, while supporting community-based forest management and indigenous land rights.
• The federation campaigns against the extractive industries, specifically targeting the environmental and human rights abuses caused by oil, gas, and mining projects, and calls for the end of public subsidies for these industries.
