This report by Friends of the Earth International critiques the international climate architecture leading up to and following COP17 in Durban. It argues that developed nations are evading their historical responsibility by replacing legally binding emission reductions with voluntary pledges and market-based carbon offset mechanisms. The document calls for a systemic shift away from neoliberalism toward a just transition based on climate justice, public financing, and the protection of indigenous rights.

This report by Friends of the Earth International (FoEI) critiques the outcomes of the COP15 (Copenhagen) and subsequent climate negotiations leading up to COP17 (Durban). It argues that the international community is failing to address the climate crisis due to a reliance on voluntary pledges and market-based mechanisms rather than legally binding emissions reductions. The document calls for a systemic shift away from neoliberalism and fossil fuels toward a 'genuine green economy' based on climate justice, historical responsibility of industrialized nations, and the protection of indigenous and local community rights.

This fact sheet by Friends of the Earth International critiques the environmental policies and practices of the European Investment Bank (EIB), arguing that there is a significant gap between the Bank's official rhetoric on sustainable development and its actual investment activities.

This fact sheet by Friends of the Earth International describes the European Investment Bank (EIB) as a powerful yet 'invisible' public financial institution owned by EU member states. It argues that the EIB operates with significant legal obscurity and lacks the transparency, environmental standards, and public accountability found in similar institutions like the World Bank. The document details specific criticisms from NGOs regarding the EIB's lack of environmental expertise, its failure to support the Kyoto Protocol, and its resistance to public information requests.

This report by Friends of the Earth International analyzes the Kalimantan Forests and Climate Partnership (KFCP), a pilot REDD+ project funded by the Australian government in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. The document argues that the project is an ineffective and unjust approach to climate mitigation that prioritizes low-cost carbon credits over the land rights of indigenous peoples and local communities.

This Friends of the Earth International (FoEI) fact sheet from September 2014 argues against the 'financialization of nature,' which it describes as a process of privatizing and commodifying biodiversity through financial mechanisms. The document advocates for community-based governance, food sovereignty, and the use of public funds and taxes for conservation instead of market-based 'false solutions.'

This guide by Friends of the Earth International critiques the agribusiness investment model, arguing that trade and investment agreements prioritize corporate profits over food sovereignty and human rights. It advocates for a transition toward agroecology led by small-scale food producers to address hunger, climate change, and environmental degradation.

This report by Friends of the Earth International critiques the industrial agribusiness investment model, arguing that current trade and investment agreements prioritize corporate profits over food sovereignty and human rights. It advocates for a shift toward agroecology and the support of small-scale food producers to combat hunger and environmental degradation.

This report by Friends of the Earth International (FoEI) argues that rural poverty is inextricably linked to environmental degradation and the imposition of neoliberal economic models. It contends that the exploitation of natural resources by transnational corporations and the policies of international financial institutions (IFIs) exacerbate poverty, while community-led management of natural resources offers a sustainable path toward poverty eradication.

This fact sheet by Friends of the Earth International critiques the Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC) process for the Paris climate negotiations, arguing that voluntary national plans are insufficient to limit global warming. The document advocates for a 'fair share' approach based on a global carbon budget to ensure accountability and equity.

This briefing by Friends of the Earth International argues that 'No Net Loss' (NNL) of biodiversity is a false solution that facilitates the continued destruction of nature by treating biodiversity as interchangeable units through offsetting mechanisms.

This report by Friends of the Earth International critiques the concept of the 'green economy' promoted during the Rio+20 conference, arguing that it serves as a mechanism for the 'financialization of nature.' The document asserts that treating ecosystems as financial assets allows multinational corporations and investment funds to capture natural resources, exacerbates social inequalities, and fails to effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

This fact sheet by Friends of the Earth International describes the Vegetable Oil Development project (VODP) in Uganda, a partnership involving Wilmar International, the Government of Uganda, the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), and Bidco. While promoted as a poverty-reduction effort, the document asserts the project has caused land grabbing, deforestation, and food insecurity, particularly on Bugala Island in the Kalangala area.

This report by Friends of the Earth International argues that the 'financialization of nature'—the process of assigning prices to ecosystems and atmospheric services—creates new markets that benefit financial actors and corporations while failing to protect the environment and harming local communities.

This briefing by Friends of the Earth International argues that 'no net loss' (NNL) of biodiversity is a 'false solution' that facilitates the continued destruction of nature by treating biodiversity as a set of exchangeable units. The document contends that NNL mechanisms, such as biodiversity offsets and credits, allow the current fossil-fuel-dependent development model to persist without requiring structural system change, while potentially leading to land grabbing and the infringement of Indigenous Peoples' and local communities' rights.

This report by Friends of the Earth International (FoEI) examines the social and environmental consequences of privatizing water and biodiversity across 34 global case studies. It argues that neoliberal policies promoted by international financial institutions (IFIs) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) prioritize corporate profit over human rights and ecological sustainability, disproportionately marginalizing the poor and Indigenous Peoples.

The report 'Tiempos de Justicia Climática' by Friends of the Earth International argues that climate change is a matter of global injustice, where wealthy nations are primarily responsible for emissions while poor communities in the Global South suffer the most. It critiques 'false solutions' such as carbon credits, biofuels, and carbon capture, calling instead for drastic domestic emission reductions in industrialized countries, the abandonment of fossil fuels, and the payment of a 'climate debt' to developing nations through public funding and technology transfer.

This report by Friends of the Earth International examines the global crisis of water equity, focusing on the negative impacts of water privatization driven by international financial institutions and multinational corporations. It details specific cases of water scarcity, pollution, and social unrest in various countries, while proposing alternative, sustainable, and community-led water management models.

This document is a joint public comment submission by the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) and the Institute for Economic Justice (IEJ) regarding the draft South African Renewable Energy Masterplan (SAREM).

Natural Justice submitted a statement critiquing the Basic Assessment Reports (BARs) for four proposed prospecting projects in the West Coast region of South Africa. The organization argues that the reports are vague, fail to provide site-specific impact assessments, and ignore critical environmental, social, and cultural factors, including climate change commitments and the rights of indigenous Guriqua communities.
