The policy brief critiques the European Commission's proposed approach to reducing acrylamide—a probable carcinogen—in food, arguing that voluntary industry measures have failed. It advocates for the transition from 'indicative values' to legally binding maximum levels and a shift from industry self-monitoring to rigorous oversight by national Food Safety Agencies.

The Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP) and ClientEarth contend that the UK government (DECC), National Grid, and Ofgem have underestimated available resources, leading to an exaggerated resource adequacy problem. They argue that treating interconnectors as generation would add at least 2.6 GW of capacity and that conventional generation availability is likely in the mid to low 90% range. Consequently, the authors claim the market-wide capacity mechanism is unnecessary, risks over-procuring national resources, undermines EU interconnectivity goals, and may not comply with state aid requirements of necessity and proportionality.

The document asserts that climate change and the net zero-carbon transition create material financial risks for all UK listed companies, making detailed disclosure a legal necessity. It claims that the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) and Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) have failed to hold companies accountable, citing a series of complaints made by ClientEarth where regulators took no public enforcement action despite evidence of non-compliance. The report urges regulators to close this 'accountability gap' and encourages institutional investors to use their power to demand TCFD-aligned disclosures.

Carbon Market Watch argues that the Central Consumer Protection Authority should explicitly ban "carbon neutral" and offsetting claims rather than merely requiring their substantiation. The organization contends that offsetting is fundamentally flawed due to quantification uncertainties, lack of permanence in biological sinks, and consumer misunderstanding. Instead, it proposes a "contribution" or "beyond value chain mitigation" (BVCM) model. The submission also recommends stricter requirements for future climate targets, including science-based commitments, full scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions disclosure, and alignment of corporate lobbying with the Paris Agreement.

The document details a 'multifront assault' by the Trump administration to roll back the 2015 EPA regulations on coal ash, a toxic byproduct of coal-fired electricity generation. It describes how six specific proposals aim to delay the closure of leaking pits, weaken wastewater standards, and eliminate financial requirements for cleanups. The briefing highlights the dangers of coal ash—including carcinogens like arsenic and hexavalent chromium—and cites historical disasters and contamination sites to illustrate the necessity of the safeguards being targeted.
