The document analyzes the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), specifically Target 10 and Target 7, regarding their impact on agriculture. While it acknowledges the framework's commitment to sustainable management and the reduction of pesticide risks, it warns that terms like 'sustainable intensification' and 'innovative approaches' may be used by corporate lobbyists to promote biotechnology, GMOs, and synthetic biology. The author argues that the GBF lacks specific mandates to restrict harmful industrial agricultural practices and risks the financialization of nature through the concept of 'ecosystem services'.

The document analyzes the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), specifically Target 10 and Target 7, regarding their impact on agriculture. It highlights the positive inclusion of agroecology and goals to reduce pesticide risks by 2030. However, it criticizes the framework for endorsing 'sustainable intensification' and 'innovative approaches' that may promote biotechnology, GMOs, and synthetic biology. The author argues that the GBF lacks specific mandates for systemic agricultural change and warns against the 'financialisation of nature' through the use of 'ecosystem services' terminology.

The document analyzes the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), highlighting its recognition of Indigenous Peoples' rights and the goal to protect 30% of the world's land and sea. However, it criticizes the framework for relying on corporate self-reporting, lacking mandatory regulations for transnational corporations, and promoting 'sustainable intensification' in agriculture, which may favor biotech and agribusiness. It also warns that the GBF's approach to restoration and conservation may enable harmful offsetting practices and the 'financialisation of nature'.

The document outlines the environmental crises caused by fossil-fuel-driven economic systems, emphasizing the need for a 'just transition' and a shift toward circular economies. It highlights the critical state of biodiversity, water security, and air quality, noting that the poorest populations suffer most despite contributing least to the problem. The guide calls for systemic changes in food production, energy use, and consumption patterns to protect the planet for future generations.

The document argues that Canada's current pesticide trajectory is incompatible with its international commitments to reduce pesticide risk by half by 2030. It identifies a significant increase in pesticide sales—up 47% since 2011—and criticizes the Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) for failing to systematically manage overall risks. The authors propose eleven priorities, including phasing out hazardous active ingredients, prohibiting cosmetic pesticide use, strengthening protections for species at risk, and expanding environmental monitoring to include cumulative risks and non-active ingredients.

ClientEarth proposes a series of legislative reforms for the UK to accelerate its transition to net zero by 2050 and protect biodiversity. Key recommendations include the introduction of an Environmental Rights Bill to comply with the Aarhus Convention, the implementation of mandatory corporate transition plans, and a ban on fossil fuel advertising and carbon offsetting. The document also calls for the UK to withdraw from the Energy Charter Treaty, accelerate fine particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution reduction targets to 2030, and ensure 30% of land and sea are effectively protected by 2030. Additionally, it urges the government to address the 'Dieselgate' scandal by supporting affected consumers and funding a clean-up fund.

The Global Climate and Health Alliance presents a framework for COP29 to translate the COP28 UAE Declaration on Climate and Health into concrete outcomes. The report argues that climate change undermines global health progress and calls for a fast, funded phase-out of fossil fuels, the adoption of a New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) for climate finance, and the integration of health targets into Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). It emphasizes the need for holistic adaptation, the capitalization of the Loss and Damage Fund to address health needs, and the protection of UNFCCC policymaking from the influence of polluting industries.

The Global Climate and Health Alliance presents a set of recommendations for COP29, arguing that climate action is a public health imperative. The document calls for the phase-out of fossil fuels, the establishment of a New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) on climate finance of at least USD 1 trillion per year, and the integration of health outcomes into National Determined Contributions (NDCs) and adaptation planning. It emphasizes the need to protect vulnerable populations, reform food systems toward agroecology, and manage conflicts of interest by reducing the influence of polluters in UNFCCC policymaking.

The document outlines how to apply a human rights-based approach (HRBA) to the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), emphasizing the distinction between duty bearers and rights holders. It provides detailed guidance on identifying vulnerable groups—including Indigenous Peoples, women, youth, and environmental human rights defenders—and integrating principles of equity, participation, and access to justice into biodiversity planning, financing, and monitoring. The guide specifically maps the 23 GBF Targets to human rights actions, advocating for the recognition of traditional territories, the implementation of Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC), and the adoption of gender-responsive policies to ensure that biodiversity conservation does not lead to human rights violations.

The document argues that Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) face a 'triple challenge' in transitioning to clean energy without compromising biodiversity or increasing poverty. While the region's electricity matrix is 69% renewable, its total energy consumption remains 74% dependent on fossil fuels. The brief highlights structural barriers, including high fiscal dependence on oil and gas exports and the risk of 'green extractivism' regarding critical minerals. It proposes a socio-ecological transition focused on community-led energy models, regional electrical integration, and a shift toward regenerative economies. The authors provide several regional case studies of community solar projects and offer policy recommendations for COP30, including the need for non-reimbursable climate finance and the elimination of fossil fuels without relying on 'false solutions' like fossil gas.

The WWF-Nedbank partnership Phase 3 (2019–2024), supported by a R25 million investment from Nedbank, implemented landscape-level conservation and sustainable agriculture projects across South Africa, with a primary focus on the Eastern Cape. Key achievements include the protection of 44 natural springs in the uMzimvubu Catchment, the securing of 15,850 hectares under Conservation Agreements for rangeland management, and the promotion of water-efficient irrigation in the dairy sector. The partnership also advanced agroecology to improve food security for smallholders and collaborated on sustainable finance frameworks, including the launch of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) in South Africa.

The document analyzes 24 "Seed" initiatives across six African countries to understand how marginal, bottom-up projects can drive systemic transformation in food systems. It finds that while these initiatives effectively improve distributional equity—specifically through increased self-sufficiency for vulnerable groups and economic opportunities—they struggle to achieve procedural and recognitional equity. Major barriers include misaligned funding, poor public infrastructure, and restrictive socio-cultural dynamics. The report recommends that development partners move beyond direct financial aid to amplify networks, facilitate collaborations, and support the legal recognition of land ownership to foster deeper systemic change.

The document examines the conflict between current global food systems and biodiversity, noting that while food systems depend on natural capital, they are the primary drivers of biodiversity loss. It highlights that USD 700 billion in annual government agricultural support often incentivizes harmful practices like the overuse of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. To address this, the author analyzes three national case studies: the UK's transition to paying for 'environmental public goods', India's support for organic 'clusters' to improve soil health, and Brazil's ABC+ plan for climate adaptation and low-carbon agriculture. The paper concludes that achieving the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework's Target 18 requires better practical guidance for policymakers and greater coherence between international frameworks, including the WTO, the Paris Agreement, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

The report finds that only 15% of Brazilian family farmers access credit, with significant disparities based on property size, region, and crop type. While Pronaf accounts for 73% of rural credit contracts, it represents only 14% of the total volume of resources. Access is heavily concentrated in the South region and among larger family properties, while small-scale producers and those in the North region remain largely excluded. The authors argue for a revision of the outdated 'fiscal module' eligibility criteria and the integration of sustainability requirements to support a low-carbon agricultural transition.

The report finds that only 15% of Brazilian family farmers access credit, with resources heavily concentrated in the South region, larger properties, and grain production. It argues that the current eligibility criteria, particularly the outdated 'fiscal module' system, create distortions that exclude the most vulnerable producers. The authors recommend revising these criteria and integrating sustainability requirements to support a transition to low-carbon agriculture.

The document argues that the industrial agro-food model is a patriarchal capitalist system that causes systemic socio-environmental crises, disproportionately affecting women through land dispossession, health risks from toxic chemicals, and increased violence. It details how monocultures—such as palm oil, soy, and pineapple—lead to deforestation, water pollution, and the loss of food sovereignty. The report emphasizes that women are central to biodiversity conservation and calls for a transition toward a feminist economy and community-led land management to replace corporate-driven agro-extractivism.

The report argues that nature-based solutions (NBS) and carbon offset schemes often serve as 'escapes' for major polluters to continue emitting greenhouse gases while facilitating land grabbing and violating human rights. It provides numerous case studies across Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Americas, highlighting systemic issues such as inflated carbon baselines, lack of free, prior, and informed consent (FPIC), and the failure of projects to deliver promised carbon reductions or community benefits. Specific examples include REDD+ projects in Gabon and Zimbabwe, soil carbon initiatives in Kenya and the US, and cookstove offsets in India.

The document is a resource list compiled by Friends of the Earth International, cataloguing various publications that challenge the legitimacy of 'false climate solutions'. It highlights materials focusing on the risks of net-zero targets, nature-based solutions, carbon markets, and geoengineering, often linking these mechanisms to land grabbing and corporate greenwashing.

The 'Clean and Productive Village' (VPP) framework aims to advance rural sanitation beyond the elimination of open defecation by integrating risk management (the 'Clean' pillar) and resource recovery (the 'Productive' pillar). In Burkina Faso, the framework focuses on the safe reuse of human excreta, animal waste, organic waste, ash, and greywater to enhance soil fertility and crop yields. Pilot implementations in three villages demonstrated high community interest in recycling nutrients, though perceptions of risk vary between human and animal waste. The report details participatory tools for diagnosis and capacity building, a monitoring system based on specific indicators, and emphasizes the necessity of collaborating with the agricultural sector to ensure the safe and effective application of recovered nutrients.

The Community Resilience Partnership Program (CRPP), managed by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), aims to strengthen the climate resilience of approximately 3.2 million poor and vulnerable people in Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste, and Vanuatu. The program is structured into two interlinked components: a Trust Fund (TF) for upstream capacity building and knowledge research, and an Investment Fund (IF) for downstream implementation of adaptation measures. The GCF is requested to provide USD 120 million (USD 100 million in grants and USD 20 million in loans) to co-finance the Investment Fund, leveraging an additional USD 555 million from ADB and USD 75 million from bilateral donors. Key interventions include improving climate information services, implementing resilient pro-poor livelihoods, and constructing adaptive infrastructure such as ecosystem-based defenses and multipurpose emergency shelters. A central pillar of the program is a dedicated Gender Window within the Trust Fund to address structural inequalities and empower women in resilience-related decision-making.
