A broad coalition of agricultural, nutrition, and conservation organizations is calling on U.S. budget and appropriations committees to avoid additional cuts to the 2018 Farm Bill. The coalition argues that the 2014 Farm Bill already contributed significantly to deficit reduction, with CBO estimates showing it cost far less than projected. They emphasize that further cuts would be perilous given that farm income has dropped 46 percent over three years and many households struggle with basic nutrition.

A coalition of civil society organisations, including Green10 and ClientEarth, requested that Members of the European Parliament reject the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) during a vote scheduled for 15 February 2017. The signatories argue that the agreement contains "fundamental flaws" and does not serve the interests of "people and the planet", calling instead for the development of a "fair and sustainable trade regime".

The We Mean Business coalition advocates for the use of the Global Climate Action Agenda and Technical Expert Meetings (TEMs) to break down barriers to low-carbon transition before 2020. The coalition highlights its role in facilitating over 1,000 climate commitments from businesses and investors and promoting the RE100 initiative to help companies procure 100% renewable energy.

A coalition of global climate justice movements, gathered at COP22, issued a statement asserting that the election of Donald Trump must not derail global climate action. The signatories argue that Trump represents a broken economic system driven by corporate interests and fossil fuel lobbyists. They call for the end of all fossil fuel extraction, a transition to 100% renewable energy, and the fulfillment of climate finance and technology transfer commitments by rich nations. The document urges U.S. subnational governments to resist the federal administration's agenda and calls for a broad-based progressive movement to address intersecting injustices, including racism and sexism, alongside the climate crisis.

A coalition of networks and organizations calls for an ambitious revision of the EU ETS to stop the use of Article 10c and the Modernisation Fund for fossil fuel capacity, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe. They advocate for a higher carbon price to disincentivize coal and the redirection of funds toward energy efficiency and renewable energy.

The briefing advocates for a binding UN treaty to end the impunity of transnational corporations (TNCs) in Africa. It details systemic environmental degradation and human rights abuses by companies like Shell in Nigeria, Vale in Mozambique, and ArcelorMittal in South Africa, arguing that national legal systems are often insufficient to provide justice and reparations.

The We Mean Business Coalition advocates for the implementation of the U.S. Clean Power Plan, stating it will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 32 percent from 2005 levels by 2030 and save consumers US$155 billion between 2020 and 2030. The author contends that the plan is supported by the private sector because it removes barriers to scaling clean energy and reduces business risk, countering claims that the policy would harm the economy.

The International Coalition for Sustainable Aviation (ICSA) warns the EU against prioritizing the breadth of participation in the ICAO Global Market Based Mechanism (GMBM) over environmental integrity. The letter argues that without safeguards against double-counting and low-quality offsets, the GMBM will fail to address aviation emissions. It calls for the EU to make its commitment to the GMBM contingent on the inclusion of transparency and environmental safeguards, drawing on the EU's own experience with the Union registry and the Paris Agreement.

An open letter from 80 organizations requests the withdrawal of the Barro Blanco hydroelectric project from the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). The authors argue that the project violates international human rights standards and Panamanian law, specifically regarding the right to free, prior and informed consent of the Ngäbe indigenous people, whose lands and sacred sites are being flooded.

The Centre for Environmental Rights (CER) and groundWork are urging the South African Department of Health to join the Highveld Priority Area (HPA) Multi-Stakeholder Reference Group (MSRG). They argue that the Department of Health's involvement is critical given the severe health burden caused by air pollution in the HPA, particularly from Eskom's coal-fired power stations. The document cites data suggesting thousands of premature deaths and significant IQ loss due to mercury emissions, as well as the economic costs of these health impacts, to justify the need for health officials to collaborate on air quality solutions.

The document argues that Eskom is obstructing South Africa's transition to renewable energy and violating constitutional rights through the continued operation of polluting coal-fired power stations. The signatories call for the removal of barriers to small-scale renewable energy, the decommissioning of ageing coal plants, and greater transparency regarding emission compliance plans.

The report by Friends of the Earth International asserts that the massive amount of public revenue lost annually to tax havens—estimated at $600 billion—is sufficient to finance a global energy revolution. Specifically, it calculates that an investment of US$7,603 billion by 2030 could provide 100% renewable energy to Africa, Latin America, and 'Other Asia'. The document advocates for the elimination of tax havens and the redirection of fossil fuel subsidies to support community-controlled renewable energy systems as a means to combat climate change and global inequality.

The document advocates for a legally binding UN treaty to hold transnational corporations (TNCs) accountable for human rights and environmental abuses. It highlights the failure of voluntary corporate social responsibility codes and the misuse of bilateral investment treaties (BITs) and Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) mechanisms to challenge public health and environmental laws. Through case studies in Latin America and Africa, it illustrates how TNCs operate with impunity due to gaps in national legal systems and the lack of extraterritorial obligations for home states.

The document advocates for a legally binding UN treaty to hold transnational corporations (TNCs) accountable for human rights and environmental abuses. It highlights the failure of voluntary corporate responsibility codes and the misuse of bilateral investment treaties to challenge public health and environmental laws. Through case studies in Latin America and Africa, it illustrates how TNCs operate with impunity due to legal gaps and state complicity, calling for a shift from voluntary guidelines to mandatory international regulations.

The report identifies 15 'signals' indicating a global energy transition, including the rapid growth of renewable energy capacity, falling solar PV costs, and record investments in green energy. It highlights China's leading role in renewable investment and the decline of the coal industry. The document also notes the rise of city-level climate actions and the growth of the green bond market, while advocating for a 'just transition' that addresses energy poverty and social equity.

The document advocates for a regional phase-out of Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) in the Arctic, noting that 96 percent of large ships in the region use this toxic fuel. It highlights the role of black carbon emissions in accelerating Arctic ice melt and the extreme difficulty of cleaning up HFO spills in remote, cold environments. The author calls on the Obama administration to use the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to address these risks, specifically by submitting a comment paper by September 2, 2016.

The National Program for fuel efficiency and emissions standards is a cornerstone of New York's strategy to reduce transportation emissions, which account for 33 percent of statewide emissions. The program has already reduced annual transportation-related emissions in New York by 2 million metric tons and saved drivers $1.5 billion in fuel costs since 2011. By 2030, the program is projected to lower the state's global warming emissions by 21 million metric tons per year, save consumers $7 billion in gas expenses, create over 40,000 jobs, and increase the state's GDP by more than $6 billion.

An open letter from a group of British scientists and engineers calling for the cancellation of the Trident successor programme and the adoption of nuclear disarmament policies to mitigate global security and climate risks.

A coalition of organizations calls on FMO and DEG to address human rights failures and environmental damage caused by the Barro Blanco dam project in Panama, specifically regarding 'test flooding' conducted without community consultation or Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC).

Green NGOs call on the European Commission to publish the Effort Sharing Decision on 20 July to maintain EU climate leadership and implement the Paris Agreement. They argue that the 2030 targets for sectors not covered by the ETS—including transport, buildings, and agriculture—must be upheld. The statement also warns against using forestry credits as loopholes to avoid reductions in other sectors.
