The report documents the dangerous environmental conditions at the Homestead detention camp in Florida, which was used to detain thousands of migrant children between 2016 and 2019. It highlights the camp's location adjacent to a Superfund site contaminated with arsenic, lead, mercury, and other toxins, as well as its exposure to chronic noise from the Homestead Air Reserve Base. The authors argue that these conditions constitute environmental racism and demand the permanent closure of the facility and comprehensive environmental testing.

A coalition of NGOs calls on the European Commission to implement strict area closures to bottom fishing in EU waters to protect deep-sea biodiversity, specifically advocating for a combination of ICES advice scenarios and 'VME elements' to prevent further destruction from bottom trawling.

The YOUNGO Health Working Group emphasizes the critical link between planetary and human health, citing climate change as the greatest global health threat of the 21st century. The authors highlight the role of youth as frontline health workers and activists, calling for governments to integrate youth perspectives into UNFCCC and G20 preparations and to recognize climate change as a health emergency within their Nationally Determined Contributions.

The Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE) calls for the next Canadian government to prioritize environmental health by reforming the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) and reintroducing an improved version of Bill C-28. The organization highlights that air pollution causes nearly 15,000 premature deaths annually in Canada, with lower-income populations and marginalized groups disproportionately affected by toxic exposures. CAPE advocates for an unqualified right to a healthy environment, the prioritization of toxic substances of concern, and the cessation of all fiscal supports to the oil and gas sector by 2022.

Civil society organisations are calling on the Finnish government to support the classification of Resorcinol as a substance of very high concern (SVHC) under the REACH regulation. The authors argue that Resorcinol is a known endocrine disruptor that inhibits thyroperoxidase (TPO), affecting thyroid hormone levels essential for brain development. They highlight that the substance is used in high volumes (1,000-10,000 tons/annum) across various industrial and consumer products, posing risks to workers and the public. The letter asserts that Resorcinol meets the 'equivalent level of concern' (ELoC) criteria due to the severity and irreversibility of its developmental effects, such as hypothyroidism and neurological impacts in children.

Civil society organisations are calling on the German government to support the classification of Resorcinol as a substance of very high concern (SVHC) under the REACH regulation. They argue that Resorcinol is a known endocrine disruptor that inhibits thyroperoxidase (TPO), affecting thyroid hormone levels essential for brain development, particularly in unborn children. The authors highlight that Resorcinol is a high-volume compound used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and rubber products, leading to significant exposure for workers and the public. They contend that the substance meets the 'equivalent level of concern' (ELoC) criteria due to the irreversible nature of its developmental effects, such as hypothyroidism and neurological impacts.

The document argues that Resorcinol should be identified as a substance of very high concern (SVHC) under REACH article 57(f) because it is an endocrine disruptor that inhibits thyroperoxidase (TPO), affecting thyroid hormone levels. The authors highlight severe developmental risks for unborn children, including hypothyroidism and neurological impacts, and note that the substance is a high-volume compound used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and rubber products. They contend that the substance meets the 'equivalent level of concern' (ELoC) criteria and that failure to identify it would undermine the EU Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability.

A coalition of civil society organisations is calling on the Polish government to support the classification of Resorcinol as a substance of very high concern (SVHC) under the REACH regulation. The organisations argue that Resorcinol is a known endocrine disruptor that inhibits thyroperoxidase (TPO), affecting thyroid hormone levels essential for prenatal brain development. They highlight that the substance is a high-volume compound used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and rubber products, posing risks to workers and the public. The letter asserts that Resorcinol meets the 'equivalent level of concern' (ELoC) criteria due to the irreversible nature of its developmental effects, such as hypothyroidism and neurological impacts in children.

The Clean Air Task Force advocates for the passage of the California Climate Crisis Act (AB-1395), which would codify California's goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2045 and maintaining negative emissions thereafter. The Act would require the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to update its Scoping Plan to include nature-based and technology-based solutions, specifically carbon capture, removal, and storage. The authors argue that such policy action is essential to address the immediate impacts of drought and wildfire in California and to maintain the state's position as a global climate leader.

The document calls for urgent action to address the climate crisis, asserting that the necessary zero-emissions technologies already exist and are increasingly cost-competitive. It advocates for a broad spectrum of solutions, the immediate end of fossil fuel subsidies, and the rapid shutdown of coal plants and other carbon-intensive assets to prevent the planet from reaching an unbearable hothouse earth scenario.

The statement calls for a transition to 100% renewable energy in Africa to address the dual crises of climate change and Covid-19. It demands the installation of over 300 GW of new renewable capacity by 2030 and 2000 GW by 2050, funded by an estimated $130 billion annual investment. The plan emphasizes community ownership, energy sovereignty, and a feminist just transition that creates 7 million well-paid jobs while ending fossil fuel extraction and illicit financial flows.

The statement calls for a transition to 100% renewable energy in Africa by 2050 to address energy poverty and the combined impacts of climate change and Covid-19. It demands the installation of over 300GW of new renewable energy by 2030 and over 2000GW by 2050, emphasizing socially-owned, community-based systems. The plan estimates an annual investment requirement of US$130 billion, which it argues can be funded through public climate finance, debt cancellation, and stopping illicit financial flows. The authors call for a ban on new fossil fuel developments and the creation of 7 million well-paid jobs in the clean energy sector.

The Centre for Environmental Rights asserts that South Africa's transition from coal must go beyond energy shifts to encompass a radical restructuring of society. The author warns that southern Africa is warming at twice the global rate, making incremental change impossible. The document advocates for an "Open Agenda for a Just Transition" that integrates clean energy with food sovereignty, gender justice, and a new economic system based on human needs rather than profit.

Seven NGOs have called on the EU Commission to include leather as a key forest-risk commodity in new deforestation laws, arguing that cattle ranching is the primary driver of deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon and that the EU is a major market for this high-risk leather. The statement highlights that leather is a multibillion-dollar industry, with the Brazilian sector valued at over US$50 billion, and that non-meat products can account for up to 26% of large meatpackers' incomes. The NGOs point to the Italian tanning industry's heavy reliance on Brazilian leather and the exposure of major European car manufacturers to deforestation through suppliers like JBS Couros. They argue that including leather in the legislation would reduce the EU's role in driving deforestation and encourage the industry to adopt zero-deforestation sourcing and traceability.

ClientEarth argues that current Solvency II Pillar 1 capital requirements do not adequately capture financial risks from climate change, including transition risks for fossil fuel assets and systemic disruption risks. The document highlights the UK Government's review of Solvency II, which acknowledges that the solvency capital requirement (SCR) and matching adjustment may need amendments to better reflect long-term climate risks and stranded assets. ClientEarth calls on the European Commission to implement similar enhancements to ensure the resilience of EU insurers and maintain a level playing field with the UK.

A group of 27 leaders from industry, academia, and civil society argue that the TEN-E Regulation must be expanded to include geological CO2 storage and multiple transport modalities—such as rail, ship, barge, and truck—to effectively support the development of European CO2 networks. They state that without including storage, the regulation supports "pipelines to nowhere" and fails to align with the European Green Deal's climate targets.

The Centre for Environmental Rights (CER), acting on behalf of groundwork, wrote to the National Energy Regulator SA (NERSA) on 6 July 2021 to request a 90-day extension for commenting on electricity generation licence applications for three Karpowership gas power projects. The CER argues that the public participation process is flawed and that the projects' national significance warrants wider advertisement beyond local newspapers.

The document argues that current U.S. policies are insufficient to protect communities and environments from the impacts of critical mineral extraction. Earthjustice proposes a four-part strategy: boosting the circular economy through recycling and efficiency, reforming the outdated 1872 mining law to mandate cleanup and royalties, setting high labor and environmental standards for imported minerals via certifications like IRMA, and applying a precautionary approach to deep seabed mining to protect ocean ecosystems.

The document advocates for a shift from orthodox economics to feminist macroeconomic approaches in the wake of COVID-19, emphasizing the need to rethink the conceptualization of the economy and the link between production and social reproduction to address gendered inequalities.

A coalition of NGOs and organisations is calling on the European Commission to expedite the adoption of two key legislative proposals: one to reduce the risk of deforestation and forest degradation linked to EU market products, and another on sustainable corporate governance. The authors express concern over reported delays extending beyond the summer recess of 2021 and a lack of official explanation from the Commission. They argue these measures are essential for the European Green Deal, human rights, and global biodiversity, noting strong support from the European Parliament, the Council, and over 1.1 million citizens in public consultations.
