The Institute for Economic Justice argues that South Africa's JETP is a flawed climate finance model that relies heavily on loans rather than grants, benefiting private Independent Power Producers (IPPs) while leaving the state with the financial risk. The author contends that the deal lacks transparency, fails to adequately fund the localization of the renewable energy value chain, and provides insufficient social security for workers in the coal belt.

Mighty Earth argues that the agribusiness soy roadmap fails to address the climate and nature crisis because it allows companies to set their own deforestation cut-off dates by 2025 rather than enforcing immediate action. The organization claims this approach undermines Brazil's environmental agenda and ignores demands from supermarkets for a 2020 cut-off date, warning that the Amazon is approaching a tipping point after losing over 2 billion trees in four years.

The statement critiques the Glasgow Financial Alliance on Net Zero (GFANZ) for a lack of evidence regarding its impact on member emission trajectories and calls on leaders Mark Carney and Michael Bloomberg to pressure members to stop financing fossil fuels.

Recourse argues that the MDBs' COP27 Joint Statement is a disappointment because it ignores the 1.5°C warming target and obscures the fact that MDB support for fossil fuels exceeds their financing for renewables. The organization highlights a lack of transparency regarding Paris Agreement alignment methodologies and calls for the MDBs to rule out fossil gas and LNG as transition fuels.

Reclaim Finance warns that sustainability-linked bonds (SLBs) are frequently used as instruments for greenwashing, allowing highly destructive companies to label debt as sustainable despite making only marginal efforts toward climate transition. The organization cites HSBC's inclusion of bonds linked to the EACOP project as an example of this risk.

The document argues that 'net zero' targets are a 'smoke screen' allowing corporations to maintain fossil fuel and industrial agriculture business models. It specifically critiques 'nature-based solutions' (NbS) and carbon offsets as mechanisms that lead to land grabbing, the displacement of Indigenous and peasant communities, and the co-optation of agroecology. The report highlights the technical failures of carbon offsets, the volatility of biological carbon storage compared to fossil carbon, and the risks of 'digital soil carbon' platforms that allow agribusinesses to control farmer data and land use.

The document argues that 'net zero' targets are deceptive tools used by fossil fuel and agribusiness giants to avoid radical emission cuts. It specifically critiques 'nature-based solutions' (NBS) and soil carbon sequestration as mechanisms that facilitate land grabbing, marginalize small-scale farmers, and prioritize corporate profit over genuine agroecology and food sovereignty.

The document critiques the reliance on 'net zero' frameworks, carbon offsets, and technological fixes, asserting that these mechanisms allow polluters to continue emissions while risking land grabbing and violating indigenous rights. It specifically analyzes the implications of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement and the promotion of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) and geoengineering, calling instead for a systemic shift toward energy sovereignty and the phased elimination of fossil fuels.

The report argues that 'net zero' targets are a 'smokescreen' allowing corporations to maintain fossil-fuel-based business models through carbon offsetting and 'nature-based solutions'. It contends that these mechanisms lead to land grabbing, the dispossession of Indigenous and peasant communities, and the co-option of agroecology. The document specifically highlights the risks of soil carbon farming as a means for agribusiness and IT companies to harvest farm data and exert control over land use. It concludes that real climate justice requires a transition to food sovereignty and a rapid phase-out of fossil fuels rather than reliance on unverifiable carbon credits.

The document argues that the PMRA's 2017 glyphosate re-evaluation is outdated and flawed, relying heavily on industry-funded studies and US EPA analysis that has since been criticized by US courts. The authors present new evidence linking glyphosate to microbiome disruption, various cancers (including non-Hodgkin's lymphoma), neurodegenerative disorders, and reproductive toxicity. They also highlight environmental risks to pollinators, freshwater ecosystems, and the contribution of phosphorus loading in agricultural landscapes. The coalition demands that the PMRA apply a 'reasonable certainty that no harm will occur' standard before granting any renewals.

The NewClimate Institute criticizes the German government for contradictions between its climate ambitions and its foreign policy actions, specifically citing the support for gas exploration in Senegal and insufficient climate finance. It urges the implementation of a cross-departmental foreign policy strategy in 2023 to ensure consistency across all ministries, including those led by the FDP, and recommends independent monitoring of progress.

Reclaim Finance argues that increasing liquefied natural gas (LNG) and coal capacity will not solve Europe's energy crisis, asserting that the crisis stems from fossil fuel dependence. The organization criticizes BlackRock CEO Larry Fink for promoting short-term profits over sustainable solutions and calls on European institutional investors to pressure BlackRock to end its unrestricted investments in coal and adopt stronger decarbonization targets.

Reclaim Finance argues that increasing liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports and coal use will not solve Europe's energy crisis, asserting that the crisis stems from fossil fuel dependence. The organization criticizes BlackRock for investing in new coal projects and for setting insufficient decarbonization targets, calling on European institutional investors to pressure the asset manager to align with climate goals.

The report details how the global production of nitrogen fertilizers has grown nearly ninefold since 1961, creating a systemic dependency on fossil gas. It argues that the agrochemical industry is collaborating with oil and gas companies to 'launder' fossil fuels through the promotion of blue hydrogen and blue ammonia paired with carbon capture and storage (CCS). The document asserts that these technologies are technically and economically infeasible for most uses and serve as a distraction to delay the phaseout of fossil fuels and industrial agriculture. It further highlights the environmental impacts of these chemicals, including the crossing of planetary boundaries related to nitrogen and phosphorus flows and chemical pollution.

The document opposes the promotion of natural gas as a 'transition fuel' in Africa, arguing that such projects primarily benefit European energy security and corporate profits while exacerbating climate vulnerability and poverty on the continent. It highlights the environmental damage in the Niger Delta and Cabo Delgado, criticizes 'Net Zero' as greenwashing, and proposes a 100% renewable energy target for Africa by 2050. The authors call for an end to fossil fuel financing and demand an annual climate debt payment of $2 trillion from industrialized nations to fund loss, damage, and a just transition.

Global Energy Monitor (GEM) finds that India's coal mining sector suffers from chronic underutilization, with 36% of approved capacity idled, making the 99 proposed coal mine projects (427 mtpa) unnecessary. The report highlights that existing capacity is sufficient to meet long-term demand and that new projects threaten to displace 165 villages, affect 87,630 families, and consume 168,041 kiloliters of water daily. Furthermore, these expansions risk creating stranded assets and carbon lock-in as India pursues a 2070 net-zero target and expands its solar power capacity.

The Center for International Environmental Law, FIAN International, and Earthjustice criticize the Human Rights Council Advisory Committee for failing to conduct meaningful consultations with Indigenous Peoples' organizations and rural communities regarding a study on 'new technologies for climate protection'. The organizations argue that the term is 'deliberately vague' compared to the established term 'geoengineering' and that the study's current outline is biased by assuming the benefits of such technologies rather than objectively analyzing their 'profound, large-scale, foreseeable and irreversible human rights impacts'.

The report details how the Radford Army Ammunition Plant (RAAP) uses open burn and open detonation (OB/OD) to destroy military munitions, releasing millions of pounds of toxins into the environment. It highlights a lack of transparency from the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VDEQ) and the facility's failure to assess cumulative health impacts, resulting in elevated risks of asthma and cancer for nearby residents. The document recommends ending open burning, implementing third-party alternatives assessments, and conducting community health assessments.

The Centre for Environmental Rights (CER) critiques the Western Cape's draft climate plan, arguing for greater urgency, transparency, and meaningful public participation. The CER strongly opposes the use of fossil gas as a transition fuel due to methane leakage and warns against the potential misuse of 'Net Zero' targets. They propose a comprehensive set of 27 guiding principles for the plan's implementation, emphasizing climate justice, the phase-out of fossil fuels, and the protection of vulnerable groups, particularly those in informal settlements.

The Union of Concerned Scientists calls for the immediate replacement of World Bank President David Malpass, citing his refusal to state that fossil fuel combustion causes climate change. The organization argues that the World Bank's mission to end poverty is inextricably linked to climate change and that the institution must stop financing fossil fuel projects to support low-income countries in transitioning to clean energy.
