The German Green Party asserts that its political identity depends on balancing its presence in government coalitions with its roots in social and ecological movements. The party aims to use this dual position to oppose the TTIP and CETA trade agreements and to push for an ambitious binding agreement at COP 21 in Paris, while linking climate action to social justice and gender equality.

A group of Ph.D. researchers and scholars call upon Governor Brown and California legislators to pass SB 32 and SB 350. The signatories argue that human activity is the primary cause of global warming and that California is already experiencing climate impacts such as increased wildfires and extreme heat waves. They advocate for three specific targets: reducing heat-trapping emissions to 80% below 1990 levels by 2050, increasing renewable electricity to 50% by 2030, and reducing transportation petroleum use by 50% by 2030.

A joint statement from free-market and taxpayer organizations advocating for the PREPARE Act of 2015 to streamline federal agency coordination and risk management during extreme weather events.

Civil society organizations are urging the CDM Executive Board to act against the Barro Blanco Hydroelectric Project in Panama. They cite the Panamanian government's temporary suspension of the project due to failures in reaching agreements with indigenous Ngöbe-Buglé communities and breaches of environmental impact assessments. The authors argue that the project's 2011 CDM registration ignored evidence that stakeholder consultation rules were not met and call for the Board to coordinate with financing banks and national authorities to ensure compliance with human rights and CDM standards.

Ben & Jerry’s advocates for more stringent US Environmental Protection Agency fuel economy regulations for freight trucks, noting that transportation accounts for 17% of the company's carbon footprint. The company argues that a 40% reduction in fuel consumption by 2025 is feasible and would reduce freight rates by nearly 7%, potentially saving the average American household $250 annually.

A letter from MEPs to the CDM Board regarding the Santa Rita hydroelectric plant project in Guatemala, citing severe human rights abuses and a lack of local stakeholder consultation.

The briefing emphasizes the link between public transportation and the success of knowledge-based industries, using Austin as a primary example of a fast-growing city facing severe congestion. It advocates for a multi-year federal authorization bill to fund the Highway Trust Fund and the creation of an integrated intercity passenger rail network to maintain national competitiveness and quality of life.

The document is a public statement addressed to the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) of Japan. It argues that current nuclear safety standards lack rationality and fail to ensure safety, citing a Fukui District Court ruling that blocked the restart of reactors No. 3 and 4 at the Takahama nuclear power plant. The authors demand a fundamental review of these standards and a halt to all current vetting procedures for restarting reactors.

The Centre for Environmental Rights (CER) is calling on the South African Department of Environmental Affairs to formally publish the draft Strategy to Address Air Pollution in Dense Low-Income Settlements for public comment by 30 April 2015. The CER argues that residents in low-income settlements suffer disproportionate exposure to poor air quality from industrial sources and domestic fuel burning, leading to severe respiratory and cardio-vascular illnesses, particularly in children and the elderly. The document highlights that the strategy was a deliverable as far back as 2010 and is essential for local governments, such as the Nkangala District Municipality, to meet air quality compliance goals by 2020. The CER asserts that the state's failure to address these health risks violates constitutional rights to an environment not harmful to health and the progressive realisation of adequate housing.

The document argues that the Town of Tusayan's application for special use authorizations on Kaibab National Forest land is not in the public interest because it enables a massive resort development by Gruppo Stilo USA. The authors contend that the project threatens the Redwall-Muav regional aquifer, which supports critical springs in Grand Canyon National Park and the water supply of the Havasupai Tribe. They further argue that the development would cause light and noise pollution, overwhelm park infrastructure, and harm wildlife habitats, including elk calving grounds and antelope fawning areas. The letter urges the Forest Service to deny the application before initiating a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process.

The B Team calls for a global net zero greenhouse gas emissions target by 2050 to be codified in the Paris climate agreement, arguing that such a clear market signal would drive investment in low-carbon infrastructure and renewable energy while mitigating catastrophic economic and environmental risks.

Richard Branson and B Team leaders advocate for a global commitment to net-zero greenhouse-gas emissions by 2050, arguing that this target is necessary to avoid the most catastrophic consequences of climate change. The statement calls for a meaningful price on carbon and the redirection of fossil fuel subsidies toward renewables, emphasizing that bold government commitments in Paris will drive business innovation and investment.

A group of international environmental organizations is calling for an end to the practice of dumping mining waste in Norwegian fjords, specifically citing plans to release 300 million tonnes of waste into Førdefjord and 30 million tonnes into Repparfjord. The statement argues that these actions threaten marine biodiversity, including endangered species and Atlantic salmon, as well as the seafood and tourism industries. The authors highlight that the Norwegian Environment Agency, the Directorate of Fisheries, and the Institute of Marine Research oppose the plans for Førdefjord.

The document argues that climate change threatens public health by increasing the risks of food- and water-borne illnesses, which in turn exacerbates malnutrition, particularly in children. It highlights the role of rising temperatures and extreme rainfall in promoting the growth of pathogens like Salmonella, Campylobacter, and Vibrio cholerae, as well as the expansion of cyanobacterial algal blooms. The text emphasizes that these risks create a cycle of diarrhea and malnutrition, especially for the most vulnerable populations who may turn to unsafe food sources during climate-induced scarcity. It calls for health professionals to advocate for strong global climate agreements and to integrate food safety risks into national climate adaptation plans.

We Mean Business calls for direct engagement between government ministers and business leaders at COP in Lima to align on a high-ambition climate pathway. The statement argues that bold climate action is an economic opportunity, citing significant growth in clean energy investments and job creation. It proposes three areas for cooperation: committing to a long-term decarbonization pathway to reduce uncertainty, scaling up public and private climate finance, and collaborating on short-term ambition to close the emissions gap by 2020.

The statement emphasizes that climate change disproportionately increases the burdens and vulnerabilities of women, particularly regarding poverty, food and water shortages, and violence. It calls for future climate agreements to include equitable provisions and for governments to recognize and protect women's leadership in climate activism, noting that the systemic causes of violence against women and nature are identical.

Friends of the Earth calls on President Obama to reject the Keystone XL pipeline, citing widespread public opposition and the political failure of candidates who supported fossil fuel infrastructure.

The We Mean Business coalition, representing businesses with a market value of at least EUR 4.33 trillion in Europe, advocates for robust climate policy to drive economic growth and energy independence. The coalition requests binding 2030 commitments from European leaders for at least 40% greenhouse gas emissions reductions, a 30% share of energy from renewable sources, and 30% energy efficiency savings. This position is supported by various corporate groups and declarations, including a letter from The Prince of Wales’s Corporate Leaders Group and a joint declaration by companies such as IKEA, Unilever, and Philips. Additionally, CDP data indicates that 92% of Euro 300 companies reporting with CDP view climate regulation as a business opportunity.

The letter argues that Sasol and Natref's court application to set aside air pollution regulations threatens public health and environmental rights, particularly in the Vaal Triangle and Highveld Priority Areas. The signatories contend that Sasol's high profitability makes its claims of prohibitive compliance costs immoral and that granting exemptions would set a dangerous precedent for other polluters, including Eskom.

The text calls for world leaders to move beyond declarations and establish a binding global climate pact, citing the IPCC's findings on human-induced warming and the scale of the People’s Climate Mobilization on September 21, 2014, as evidence of the urgent need for coordinated international action on emissions and renewable energy.
