The document argues that consolidated interim storage of high-level radioactive waste is a risky and counterproductive plan that creates unnecessary transportation and security hazards. It highlights two specific license applications—one by Waste Control Specialists in Texas and another by Holtec International in New Mexico—and asserts that these projects face significant legal, technical, and community opposition. The authors claim that such facilities would not accelerate the move to permanent repositories and could instead become de facto permanent sites, while posing severe risks of radiation exposure and economic disaster in the event of a transport accident.

The report examines the assassination of Lenca indigenous leader Berta Cáceres in 2016, who opposed the Agua Zarca hydroelectric dam in Honduras. It details how the project, developed by Desarrollos Energéticos S.A. (DESA) and funded by international institutions including FMO and Finnfund, was marked by systemic violence and a lack of free, prior, and informed consent. Despite a 2018 court verdict convicting several individuals and linking the murder to DESA executives, the report argues that the reliance on voluntary human rights due diligence under the UN Guiding Principles is insufficient. It calls for legally binding international legislation to hold corporations accountable for human rights abuses and environmental damage.

The report examines the assassination of environmental defender Berta Cáceres and the role of the Desarrollos Energéticos S.A. (DESA) company and its international financiers in the Agua Zarca hydroelectric project in Honduras. It highlights the failure of voluntary human rights due diligence and calls for binding international legislation to hold corporations accountable for human rights and environmental abuses.

The document examines the murder of environmental defender Berta Cáceres and the systemic violence associated with the Agua Zarca dam project in Honduras. It highlights the failure of voluntary human rights due diligence by international financiers and calls for legally binding international legislation to hold transnational corporations accountable for human rights and environmental abuses.

A coalition of organizations, including the Private Equity Stakeholder Project and Color of Change, calls on Apax Partners to exit its investment in Attenti and other incarceration and detention service providers. The authors argue that such investments exacerbate mass incarceration, which disproportionately affects communities of color, and pose financial risks to public pension funds and institutional investors.

The document argues that the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) should be terminated by 2020 to prevent it from undermining the Paris Agreement. The authors claim the CDM encourages a 'zero-sum game' that hinders domestic climate action, has increased global emissions due to 'junk' credits, and has led to human rights violations and inequitable benefit distribution.

The Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE) submitted a petition with 361 signatures to Minister Rochelle Squires requesting that Manitoba retain its current regulation restricting non-essential pesticide use. CAPE argues that the ban is a science-based policy that reduces health risks—including reproductive, neurological, developmental, and respiratory issues—for vulnerable populations such as children and pregnant women. The organization also notes that municipal weed programs in six Canadian cities demonstrate that effective weed control is possible without riskier herbicides.

The Centre for Environmental Rights, representing the Life After Coal/Impilo Ngaphandle Kwamalahle Campaign, is urging the South African government to prioritise the promulgation of the Climate Change Bill, 2018. The authors argue that delaying climate legislation is unacceptable given South Africa's extreme vulnerability to climate change and the urgent need for 'rapid and far-reaching' transitions to limit global warming to 1.5°C. They assert that the state has a Constitutional obligation to protect the environment and prevent pollution, citing the Dutch Urgenda case as a legal precedent for the state's duty to pursue ambitious greenhouse gas emission reduction plans.

A coalition of environmental and health organizations expresses grave concern over the reported plan to eliminate the Environmental Commissioner of Ontario (ECO) via Bill 57, arguing that the office's independent, evidence-based analysis is essential for environmental accountability and public health.

An open letter from a coalition of climate and energy organisations calling for a more ambitious budget allocation for Horizon Europe's Cluster 4 to support the transition to a net-zero economy by 2050 and meet the targets of the Clean Energy Package.

The author calls on governments to ratify the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol to address the cooling sector's contribution to greenhouse gas emissions. With cooling-related CO2 emissions projected to rise from 8% to 15% by 2050, the document emphasizes the need for low Global Warming Potential (GWP) refrigerants and energy-efficient equipment to avoid a vicious cycle of increasing cooling demand and global warming.

The document outlines ten demands for a systemic change in the global energy landscape, emphasizing that energy should be treated as a common good rather than a commodity. It advocates for 'energy sufficiency' to eliminate overconsumption by elites while ensuring universal access to basic energy needs. The manifesto calls for a rapid transition to 100% renewable energy, specifically prioritizing small-scale, decentralized technologies over large-scale projects that may cause land grabbing or biodiversity loss. It emphasizes a 'just transition' that protects workers' rights and addresses historical climate debts owed by the Global North to the Global South. Central to its argument is the concept of energy sovereignty, where communities—particularly women and marginalized groups—have democratic control over their energy production and use.

The Defenders in Development Campaign urges states and development finance institutions (DFIs) to integrate human rights protections into development projects, noting that defenders of land and environmental rights face extreme risks of violence and criminalization.

The statement advocates for the UN General Assembly to recognize the right to a healthy and sustainable environment, noting that while over 100 national constitutions and various regional treaties already protect this right, the lack of global UN recognition creates a gap in the human rights protection regime. It asserts that such recognition would prioritize the prevention of environmental degradation and strengthen legal remedies against corporate and public policy failures.

A joint statement from various organizations advocating for the use of domestic biomass—including forest residues, agricultural waste, and animal manures—to reduce wildfire risk, sequester carbon in building materials, and provide renewable energy for rural communities in the United States.

ClientEarth urges the European Commission to set 2019 Northeast Atlantic TACs strictly according to scientific advice to meet the 2020 MSY deadline. The organization warns against the removal of TACs to solve 'choke issues' unless risks are low and safeguards are in place, and calls for greater transparency in the decision-making process and socio-economic justifications for any departures from scientific advice.

CAPE argues that Manitoba should keep its restrictions on non-essential pesticides, presenting evidence from six Canadian municipalities that satisfactory weed control is achievable without toxic herbicides through turf maintenance practices like mowing and aeration. The document asserts that such bans protect human health and do not lead to exponential budget increases or significant public dissatisfaction.

A group of European NGOs expresses deep concern over the diminishing opportunities for civil society to engage with policymakers on aviation climate change. They argue that existing forums, such as the ECAC Environmental Forum, are ineffective and lack constructive dialogue, citing specific instances where NGO participation was declined or ignored. The authors call for a dedicated forum for EU policy discussion involving only European industry and environmental stakeholders to address urgent challenges including decarbonisation strategies, CORSIA participation, and the potential return of supersonic aircraft.

The guide highlights corporate human rights abuses in Asia—including land grabs in Malaysia and Sri Lanka, coal power threats to mangroves in Bangladesh, and nuclear risks in Russia and Palestine—to advocate for a UN Binding Treaty on Transnational Corporations. It calls for an enforceable legal mechanism, international grievance systems, and accountability for global supply chains and international finance.

Friends of the Earth International calls for an immediate global shift away from 'dirty energy'—including fossil fuels, nuclear power, and large-scale hydroelectricity—toward community-led, decentralized energy systems. The statement emphasizes that the Global North must take primary responsibility for emission cuts and financial support for the Global South to achieve climate justice and prevent irreversible planetary tipping points.
