In a letter dated 10 March 2022, Scientists for Global Responsibility (SGR) acknowledges the American Geophysical Union's (AGU) commitment to fossil fuel divestment and net carbon neutrality but requests specific details on the timeline, exclusion strategies, measurement methods, and transparency of these investments. SGR calls on the AGU to redirect investments toward climate mitigation technologies, report its portfolio's carbon footprint, sever ties with corporations guilty of major malpractice, and sign the Pledge to Net Zero. The letter suggests a completion deadline of mid-2023 and references the 'Science Oath for the Climate' and the impact of COP26 and legal rulings against Shell as drivers for improved climate governance.

SGR calls on the American Physical Society to disclose investments over $5,000, phase out ties to companies not aligned with the 2°C Paris Agreement goal, and adopt a formal environmental policy. The letter highlights a trend of divestment among other professional bodies and universities in the US and UK.

Scientists for Global Responsibility (SGR) has written to the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) expressing concerns over its lack of transparency regarding investments and potential financial ties to the arms and fossil fuel sectors. SGR calls on ASCE to disclose investments over $5,000, phase out ties to companies not aligned with the 2C Paris Agreement goal, and adopt an environmental policy. The letter highlights a growing trend of divestment among other professional bodies, universities, and scientific organizations in the US and UK as a benchmark for responsible climate governance.

The report by Scientists for Global Responsibility (SGR) finds that the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) maintains significant financial ties to the arms and fossil fuel sectors through investments, corporate partnerships, and sponsorships. Despite adopting an ESG policy in 2019 and setting a net-zero target for its own operations, the IET has not excluded any asset types from its investments. SGR highlights that the IET invests in funds containing thermal coal, oil sands, and various controversial and nuclear weapons. Furthermore, the IET maintains corporate partnerships with numerous arms companies and fossil fuel giants like BP and Shell. SGR argues these links contradict the IET's stated values of integrity and its goal of 'working to engineer a better world', especially as peers in other scientific and medical fields have moved toward full divestment.

The report by Scientists for Global Responsibility (SGR) finds that the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) lacks transparency regarding its investments, making it impossible to determine the full extent of its financial ties to fossil fuels and arms. While IMechE has implemented some internal sustainability measures, such as LED lighting and travel reduction, it maintains corporate links to arms companies like Meggitt and Rolls Royce, and fossil fuel company Fugro, through its Company Based Registration scheme. SGR argues these links contradict IMechE's professional code of conduct and its role as a climate change thought leader, noting that several peer organisations have already divested from such industries.

The Travel & Expense Procedures (Version 3.0) establish the operational rules for claiming business expenses at FSD Africa. It mandates that all spending be "reasonable and necessary" and aligned with a "pro-poor mission." The document details specific reimbursement caps for meals, rules for alcohol and telephone usage, and the requirement for original receipts. It also includes specific protocols for travel during the Covid-19 pandemic and a carbon footprint statement aimed at reducing and offsetting CO2 emissions from business travel.

Scientists for Global Responsibility (SGR) has called on the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) to address concerns regarding its lack of transparency and potential financial ties to the fossil fuel and arms industries. SGR requests that ASEE disclose investments over $5,000, phase out ties to companies not aligned with the 2°C Paris Agreement goal, and adopt a formal environmental policy. The letter highlights a broader trend of divestment among other professional bodies and universities in the US and UK, such as the American Geophysical Union and Harvard University, as evidence of shifting expectations for climate governance.

The report outlines a strategy for the Norwegian culture sector to align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement. It identifies a shift in the sector from merely inspiring others to addressing its own carbon footprint, highlighting tools like the Green Producers Tool and certifications such as Miljøfyrtårn. The authors propose three main instruments: making sustainability goals the foundation of all cultural policy, requiring sustainability information for all public funding, and establishing a dedicated competence center for sustainability, climate, and culture, potentially linked to the Sustainability Center in Trondheim.

The Basque Centre for Climate Change (BC3) has developed a guide containing 10 educational activities for high school students, aligned with BC3's research lines. The activities use active methodologies to cover topics such as carbon footprints, planetary boundaries, climate justice, and urban heat islands. The guide includes a conceptual overview of climate change, emphasizing the need to limit global warming to 1.5ºC, and provides structured lesson plans with specific goals, competencies, and resources.

The catalog consists of 10 independent educational activities linked to five BC3 research lines: Climate Basis, Low Carbon, Terrestrial Ecosystems, Adaptation Laboratory, and Integrated Models of Human and Natural Systems. These activities employ active methodologies, such as cooperative learning and research-based learning, to develop students' scientific and social competencies. Key topics include carbon footprint calculation, planetary boundaries, climate justice, degrowth, and urban heat islands. The guide also provides a conceptual overview of climate change, citing IPCC AR6 data to emphasize the need to limit global warming to 1.5 ºC by reducing global emissions by 43% and methane emissions by 34% by 2030.

The report identifies four stable audience segments in Ireland: the Alarmed (34%), Concerned (48%), Cautious (14%), and Doubtful (4%). While belief that climate change is happening is high across all groups, significant differences exist regarding its causes, perceived urgency, and support for restrictive policies. A key finding is a widespread lack of climate literacy, with all segments underestimating the carbon impact of dietary choices and overestimating the impact of small actions like using reusable bags. Trust in scientists remains high across all groups, including the Doubtful.

The document outlines six specific proposals to reform financial practices in France and the European Union to combat climate change. These include banning the financing of new fossil fuel projects, introducing a 'nutri-score' for the carbon impact of financial products, increasing capital requirements for banks supporting fossil fuels, aligning European Central Bank (ECB) operations with climate goals, ending export financing for hydrocarbons, and strengthening shareholder rights to influence corporate climate strategies.

The document argues that digital communication often amplifies existing offline injustices and creates new ones through digital divides, surveillance, and the weaponization of information. It advocates for a transformative movement based on communication rights, inclusive design, and the protection of privacy to ensure digital spaces serve human dignity rather than corporate profit or state control.

The 247Solar project in Queensland, Australia, aims to deploy a hot-air-driven Brayton Cycle system to provide 100% of the electricity for a mine, its campsite, and an export jetty, while meeting 50% of a local aboriginal community's demand. The project expects to reduce the carbon footprint by 90%, lower energy costs by 25%, and create approximately 350 local jobs, supported by funding from the Queensland State Government and the Australian Federal Government (ARENA).

The guide outlines strategies for a more sustainable Christmas, focusing on reducing waste and energy consumption. Key recommendations include sourcing local trees, switching to LED lighting, consolidating online deliveries, reducing meat and dairy intake, saving food leftovers, and reusing packaging materials. These tips are framed against a global context where waste is predicted to increase by 70% by 2050.

The report examines how technological advancements in the mining sector of Burkina Faso affect employment across industrial, artisanal, and administrative levels. While industrial mines are slowly adopting automation and remote work, artisanal mining is seeing a shift toward semi-mechanization. The document highlights significant risks of job losses for low-skilled workers and women, while proposing policies for skill redevelopment, local content enhancement, and transparency in technology adoption.

The document argues that EU trade policy must be consistent with the Green Deal, Farm to Fork, and animal welfare standards to prevent the externalisation of environmental and social impacts. It proposes ten structural reforms for EU Free Trade Agreements (FTAs), including the introduction of enforceable sustainability obligations, conditional preferential tariffs, penalty mechanisms for TSD violations, and mandatory ex-ante sustainability impact assessments.

The document alleges that BP knew about the devastating consequences of fossil fuels as early as 1991 but engaged in a campaign of deception to protect profits. It highlights the contrast between BP's 'Beyond Petroleum' branding and its actual capital expenditures, noting that the company spent $12 billion on oil and gas in 2002 compared to $45 million in solar. The briefing also criticizes BP for pioneering the 'carbon footprint' concept to shift responsibility to consumers and for implementing a 'net zero' ambition that excludes an estimated 46% of the carbon it extracts, including joint ventures with Rosneft.

The document highlights a significant discrepancy between the UK advertising industry's operational carbon footprint and the emissions of its fossil fuel clients, urging the industry to include client impact in its net zero accounting.

The document provides evidence that major fossil-fuel companies had internal knowledge of anthropogenic climate change as early as the 1950s and 1960s, yet spent decades funding disinformation to manufacture public doubt. It details how these companies protected their own infrastructure from sea-level rise while publicly denying the science, and argues that current 'greenwashing' and 'carbon footprint' narratives continue this pattern of deception.
