The document outlines four decades of activism by Friends of the Earth International, highlighting specific successes in banning commercial whaling in Spain, prohibiting open-pit mining in Costa Rica, and establishing the first climate change law in the UK. It details diverse campaigns against coal power in Germany, oil pollution in Nigeria, and genetically modified organisms in Europe, while emphasizing the role of grassroots mobilization and legal action in achieving environmental protections and human rights.

• In 2011, Costa Rica became the first Latin American country to prohibit open-pit metal mining through a unanimous vote by the Legislative Assembly and a presidential decree.
• The United Kingdom introduced the world's first climate change law in 2008, which mandates reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
• In Germany, grassroots resistance and legal challenges led to the abandonment of plans to construct 15 coal-fired power plants.
• In Nigeria, legal actions against Shell resulted in a 2005 federal court ruling that gas flaring is unconstitutional and violates the right to life and dignity.
• A 2004 constitutional reform in Uruguay established the human right to water, preventing the privatization of drinking water and sanitation services.
• In Europe, activism led to a de facto moratorium on the introduction of new genetically modified (GM) products starting in 1998.
• In Bangladesh, a 2009 Supreme Court ruling ordered the closure of all ship-breaking yards operating without environmental permits to protect workers and the coast from toxic substances.
• In Spain, a campaign launched in 1979 led to a national moratorium and the cessation of commercial whaling by 1985.
• In South Africa, the National Environmental Waste Management Act of 2009 provided the first national legislative recognition for waste pickers as legitimate stakeholders.
• In Argentina, a law approved on September 30, 2010, protects glaciers by prohibiting mining in their vicinity and requiring climate policies to be consistent with glacier preservation.
