The document argues that the post-2020 European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF), which allocates over 6 billion euros for 2021-2027, must not include harmful subsidies. The authors highlight that 69% of European fish stocks are overfished and that re-introducing subsidies for new fishing vessels—which were banned since 2004—would increase fishing effort and contradict the EU's international commitments under Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 14.6 and World Trade Organization negotiations.

The document argues that the European Union is risking its international credibility by potentially reintroducing harmful fisheries subsidies through the 2021-2027 European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF). The authors highlight that 69% of European fish stocks are currently subject to overfishing and that the former European Parliament's position included subsidies for new fishing vessel construction, which would increase fishing effort. They call on the new European Parliament to amend this position to align with WTO multilateral prohibitions on subsidies that encourage overcapacity and the UN Sustainable Development Goal 14.6.

Five environmental NGOs express concern that the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF) for 2021-2027, which allocates over 6 billion euros, may reintroduce harmful subsidies for fishing vessel construction. They argue this would increase overcapacity and overfishing while undermining EU credibility in World Trade Organisation negotiations to ban such subsidies under UN Sustainable Development Goal 14.6.

The open letter argues that fossil gas is incompatible with the EU's climate-neutrality goals and the 1.5°C temperature limit. It claims that investing in renewable energy creates up to three times more jobs per euro than fossil fuel investments and that fossil gas infrastructure is generally incompatible with renewable gases at scale.

The document argues that EU governments continue to provide billions in direct and indirect fossil fuel subsidies, which undermines climate neutrality goals and the 'polluter pays' principle. It calls for a single, comprehensive definition of fossil fuel subsidies to improve transparency and accountability, and demands a bold timeline for phasing out these subsidies to shift financial support toward sustainable sectors.

The document highlights how permafrost thaw and extreme weather are damaging critical infrastructure in Northern Canada, including airstrips, residential buildings, and winter roads. It advocates for transformational adaptation—rethinking infrastructure design and funding—to ensure reliable transport, habitable housing, and food security for northern communities.

Health professionals are calling on the U.S. Congress to oppose a proposed "liability shield" for the fossil fuel industry, arguing that these companies should remain accountable for the significant public health costs and environmental damages caused by pollution and climate change.

The report details a workshop in Cameroon that led to the creation of the Réseau Afrique Carbone & Changement Climatique (RAC3), a network designed to amplify African civil society voices in carbon market negotiations. It highlights the historical under-representation of Africa in the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and discusses the potential benefits of 'vintage restrictions' under the new Sustainable Development Mechanism (SDM) to encourage new projects. The event also addressed the role of African NGOs in monitoring the environmental integrity of aviation offsets under CORSIA and noted the need for increased advocacy to raise ambition regarding aviation emission reductions in Cameroon.

The document advocates for the strengthening of the EU's Effort Sharing Regulation (ESR) to ensure Cyprus and the EU meet Paris Agreement goals. It identifies transport, waste management, and building heating/cooling as key sectors for emission reductions in Cyprus and proposes specific policy improvements, including higher 2030 and 2050 targets, more accurate emission baselines, and stricter governance to prevent the use of legal loopholes in forestry and the Emissions Trading System (ETS).

Signatories call on the UK government to revoke authorization for two CDM projects managed by Exportadora del Atlántico (a subsidiary of Grupo Dinant) in the Aguan and Lean regions of Honduras. The letter argues that the projects are linked to violent land conflicts, including the murder of peasants and the use of project sites by military forces. Additionally, it challenges the 'additionality' of the projects, noting that the company received millions in loans from the World Bank's IFC and the Inter-American Investment Corporation for biogas production, which was not disclosed in the project documentation.

Carbon Market Watch and Opportunity Green call on the European Commission to maintain its climate leadership by resisting U.S. pressure to exempt international aviation from the EU ETS. The authors argue that the ICAO's CORSIA scheme is an inferior alternative to the ETS because it lacks an emissions cap and relies on inadequate offsetting. They highlight that in 2023, flights leaving EEA airports emitted 133 MtCO2, with less than half reported under the ETS, and warn that yielding to U.S. threats, such as the EU ETS Prohibition Act, would undermine EU sovereignty and climate goals.

The Human Rights and Climate Change Working Group and associated organisations call on EU leadership to champion human rights within the Paris Agreement. They argue that climate change disproportionately affects vulnerable populations and that climate actions themselves can cause human rights abuses without safeguards. The letter specifically requests support for an amended Article 2(2) of the draft text to recognise the protection of human rights, indigenous peoples' rights, gender equality, and a just transition for the workforce.

The Santa Rita Hydroelectric Plant in Guatemala's Alta Verapaz region was registered as a Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project in June 2014 despite strong opposition from local indigenous communities. The document asserts that the project violated the Guatemalan Agreement on Identity and Rights of Indigenous Peoples, ILO Convention 169, and CDM Modalities and Procedures by failing to conduct proper public consultations. This lack of compliance is linked to severe human rights abuses, including the alleged deaths of seven people and repressive police operations against Q’eqchi´ communities. The project is funded by the Latin Renewables Infrastructure Fund (LRIF), with investments from the IFC (USD 15mln), SIFEM (USD 7mln), DEG, FMO, and AECID. Civil society organizations have filed complaints with the Compliance Advisor Ombudsman (CAO) and the IFC, demanding the withdrawal of financing and the cancellation of the CDM registration.

The Santa Rita hydroelectric project on the Dolores River in Alta Verapaz, Guatemala, was registered under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) in June 2014 despite strong opposition from local Q’eqchi’ communities. The document reports that the project violated the Guatemalan Agreement on Identity and Rights of Indigenous Peoples, ILO Convention 169, and CDM procedures by failing to conduct appropriate public consultations. This lack of consultation and the subsequent project development led to severe human rights abuses, including the alleged extrajudicial killings of seven people, including two children, and violent police repression against indigenous families in August 2014. The project is funded via the Latin Renewables Infrastructure Fund (LRIF), with investors including the International Finance Corporation (IFC), which contributed 15 million dollars, and the Swiss Investment Fund for Emerging Markets (SIFEM), which contributed approximately 7 million dollars. In October 2014, civil society organizations filed a formal complaint with the Compliance Advisor Ombudsman (CAO) of the IFC, citing a lack of public consultation and the criminalization of opponents. The document uses this case to advocate for a human rights-based strategy in the 2015 climate agreement, noting that climate actions must respect and protect human rights.

The document argues that the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) should be ended by 2020 because it undermines domestic climate action, increases global greenhouse gas emissions through 'junk' credits, and violates human rights. It specifically urges UNFCCC Heads of Delegation and the ICAO Council to stop allowing CDM credits to be used for Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and aviation emissions targets.

A joint statement from NGOs urging the Economic and Financial Affairs Council (ECOFIN) to implement the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) as a direct alternative to EU ETS free allowances and indirect cost compensation to maintain decarbonisation incentives.

The document argues that coal ash poses severe health and environmental risks, including cancer and water contamination, and asserts that only federally enforceable safeguards under RCRA Subtitle C can provide adequate protection. It highlights the failure of the Subtitle D approach and cites a 2008 disaster in Tennessee as evidence of the need for stricter regulations.

A letter dated June 12, 2012, from several members of Congress to the Chairman and Ranking Member of the House Committee on Agriculture, urging the renewal of core energy title programs in the upcoming Farm Bill to support rural economic development and energy security.

The fact sheet outlines the economic and environmental benefits of energy efficiency in Georgia, asserting that specific policies could save the state $1.9 billion and avoid 12 million tons of CO2 by 2030.

The document outlines the economic and environmental benefits of energy efficiency in Illinois, asserting that specific policies can help the state meet 83% of its carbon reduction goals under the EPA's Clean Power Plan. It projects that by 2030, a combination of 1.5% annual energy savings, national model building codes, and 500 MWs of new combined heat and power would avoid over 29 million tons of CO2 and save Illinoisans $5.4 billion.
