This report, authored by consultant Dr. Ranajit Sahu, analyzes emissions monitoring data from Eskom power stations between April 2016 and December 2017. The analysis identifies thousands of exceedances of Atmospheric Emission License (AEL) limits for particulate matter (PM), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx), while highlighting significant deficiencies in Eskom's reporting practices.

This document contains the heads of argument submitted by ACWA Power to the Appeal Authority of the Nkangala District Municipality. ACWA argues that an appeal brought by the non-profit organization GroundWork against the transfer of a Provisional Atmospheric Emission Licence (PAEL) should be dismissed because GroundWork, as a third party, lacks the legal standing to appeal under section 62 of the Local Government Municipal Systems Act 32 of 2000.

The Centre for Environmental Rights (CER), acting on behalf of several environmental campaigns and alliances, requested that the South African Department of Environmental Affairs urgently withdraw a provision in the amended List of Activities published on 31 October 2018. The CER argues that this provision improperly weakens the sulphur dioxide (SO2) minimum emission standards (MES) for existing solid-fuel combustion plants without public consultation.

The Spatial Challenges and Opportunities Report (2018) provides a comprehensive biophysical, socio-economic, and built environment analysis of Mpumalanga Province to inform its Provincial Spatial Development Framework (PSDF). The report identifies a resource-based economy heavily dependent on coal mining and electricity generation, while highlighting significant spatial fragmentation, infrastructure backlogs, and environmental threats to biodiversity and water sources.

The Centre for Environmental Rights (CER), writing on behalf of the Life After Coal Campaign, urges ABSA Group Limited to withdraw financial support for the proposed Thabametsi and Khanyisa coal-fired power stations. The CER argues that these projects are not 'procured', face significant legal challenges, and contradict the 'least cost' options identified in the 2018 draft Integrated Resource Plan (IRP). The document highlights severe health risks for residents in the Waterberg-Bojanala and Highveld Priority Areas, high greenhouse gas emission intensities, and the potential for these projects to cost South Africa nearly R20 billion more than necessary.

The Centre for Environmental Rights (CER), writing on behalf of the Life After Coal Campaign, urges FirstRand Bank to withdraw financial support for the proposed Thabametsi coal-fired power plant. The letter argues that the project is economically unnecessary, environmentally damaging, and legally precarious, contradicting the bank's own commitments to a lower-carbon economy.

The Centre for Environmental Rights (CER), writing on behalf of the Life After Coal Campaign, urges Nedbank to withdraw financial support for the Thabametsi and Khanyisa coal-fired power plants. The letter argues that these projects are not 'least-cost' options, face significant legal challenges regarding environmental and generation licenses, and would cause severe health and climate impacts in South Africa.

Dr. Ranajit (Ron) Sahu provides a critique of the revised Atmospheric Impact Report (AIR) for the proposed Thabametsi Power Plant, asserting that the revised document fails to address most technical deficiencies identified in a previous review of the April 2018 AIR.

A letter from the Life After Coal Campaign to the South African Minister of Health inquiring about the Minister's participation in the WHO's First Global Conference on Air Pollution and Health and highlighting the severe health and economic costs of air pollution in South Africa.

The Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE) submitted a statement to the Task Force on Just Transition for Canadian Coal Power Workers and Communities advocating for the accelerated phase-out of coal-fired power plants. CAPE argues that while closing these plants provides critical climate and public health benefits, it must be accompanied by a just transition plan to protect the social determinants of health for displaced workers and communities.

The 2018 Green Economy Barometer for Mongolia, produced by the Economic Policy Research and Competitiveness Center (ECRC) and the Green Economy Coalition, evaluates Mongolia's transition toward a sustainable economy. It highlights the risks of commodity price volatility and the potential for green investments to reduce poverty and unemployment by 2030. While the government has established policy frameworks and international commitments, the report notes a significant gap between legislation and implementation, ranking Mongolia 79th out of 80 countries in the 2016 Global Green Economy Index.

The Green Economy Barometer 2018 Mongolia, produced by the Economic Policy and Competitiveness Research Centre (EPCRC) for the Green Economy Coalition, evaluates Mongolia's transition toward a sustainable economy. The report highlights a significant gap between the government's legislative commitments and actual implementation, ranking Mongolia's progress as 3 out of 10. While the country faces severe environmental challenges—including extreme air pollution in Ulaanbaatar and widespread land degradation—it has established national frameworks like the National Green Development Policy and Sustainable Development Vision 2030 to guide its transition.

A submission by the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE) and several other health organizations supporting the phase-out of coal-fired electricity generation in Canada by 2030. The document argues that coal plants are major sources of greenhouse gases and toxic pollutants, such as mercury and criteria air contaminants, which cause significant respiratory and cardiovascular diseases and developmental issues in children.

The Centre for Environmental Rights (CER), representing several environmental justice organizations, formally opposes the Department of Environmental Affairs' (DEA) proposal to establish an expert panel to find solutions for sulphur dioxide (SO2) abatement. The CER argues that such a panel would unnecessarily delay compliance with Minimum Emission Standards (MES), duplicate previous multi-stakeholder processes, and potentially lead to an unlawful weakening of environmental standards for major polluters Eskom and Sasol.

The Centre for Environmental Rights (CER), representing several environmental justice organizations, issued a formal letter to the Director-General of the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) on 26 February 2018. The letter demands urgent action to address air pollution in the Highveld Priority Area (HPA), specifically criticizing the DEA's handling of minimum emission standards (MES) compliance, its failure to respond to the 'Broken Promises' report, and the health impacts of emissions from Eskom and Sasol.

A letter from the Life After Coal Campaign to the Chairman of Eskom's Board of Directors, arguing that Eskom's reliance on coal-fired power is economically unsustainable and creates severe liabilities regarding human health, water, and the environment.

This parallel report, submitted by the Instituto Internacional de Derecho y Medio Ambiente (IIDMA) and the Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) to the Committee on the Rights of the Child, argues that Spain's continued reliance on coal-fired power plants violates children's rights to health and a sustainable environment. The authors highlight the severe respiratory impacts of air pollution on children and the contribution of these plants to global climate change, urging the Spanish government to phase out coal power.

This parallel report, submitted to the Committee on the Rights of the Child by the International Institute for Law and the Environment (IIDMA) and the Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL), argues that Spain's continued reliance on coal-fired power plants violates children's rights to health and a sustainable environment. The document details the health impacts of air pollution on children, the role of coal in greenhouse gas emissions, and the legal exceptions Spain has used to bypass European Union emission limits.

A case study by the World Resources Institute (WRI) detailing the launch of India's first fully automated public bicycle sharing (PBS) system in Bhopal, which integrates dedicated bike lanes to improve safety and solve last-mile connectivity to public transport.

The Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment argues that Canada requires a federal champion for active transportation (walking and cycling) to address rising chronic disease rates, reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, and improve social equity.
