The document outlines the EU's complex decision-making process, detailing the roles of the European Commission, European Parliament, European Council, and the Court of Justice of the European Union. It describes the 'codecision' procedure required for law adoption and traces the evolution of EU environmental policy from the Single European Act of 1987 to the Treaty of Lisbon (2009), noting that while the EU has broad legal authority in environmental matters, its practical scope is often limited by national sovereignty and the requirement for unanimous voting in the Council on key issues like energy sources.

The Center for Climate Integrity asserts that the American Petroleum Institute (API) spent decades coordinating a campaign of deception regarding the dangers of fossil fuels despite early internal research predicting catastrophic climate events. The document claims API has evolved from outright denial to 'greenwashing' and continues to lobby against climate legislation and federal leasing moratoriums while providing political cover for its member companies.

The document argues that Shell engaged in a campaign of deception regarding climate change despite internal reports as early as 1988 warning that impacts could be the greatest in recorded history. It highlights a contradiction between Shell's public net-zero pledges and its financial investments, noting that between 2010 and 2018, only 1.3% of capital expenditures went to low-carbon projects. Furthermore, the briefing asserts that Shell's nature-based offset plans are unrealistic, requiring forest planting on a scale comparable to the size of Spain or Brazil.

The report demonstrates that deforestation in the Amazon, specifically within the Xingu River Basin, significantly reduces rainfall in Mato Grosso. A counterfactual scenario where all Xingu Indigenous Territories are deforested predicts an average annual precipitation decrease of 7%, with more severe reductions during the dry season. These changes threaten agricultural productivity, urban water supplies, and hydroelectric power generation, with the center and north of the state being most vulnerable.

The document argues that EU competition rules should move away from a "full compensation" theory for consumers and instead adopt a "fair share" approach to enable businesses to cooperate on climate and sustainability goals. It emphasizes that environmental benefits for society should be considered when granting exemptions under Article 101(3) TFEU, even if individual in-market consumers do not receive direct benefits. The authors also address the distinction between genuine sustainability cooperation and greenwashing, and call for greater transparency in the Commission's guidance to businesses.

ClientEarth argues that the UK government's proposed 'Better Regulation' framework, informed by the TIGGR report, risks a deregulatory shift that would threaten environmental protections. The organization specifically opposes the adoption of a 'common law approach' to regulation and a 'new' proportionality principle, warning that these could erode the precautionary principle and lead to 'death by a thousand cuts' for the environment. ClientEarth also cautions against delegating excessive discretion to regulators through guidance rather than legislation, citing failures in oil and gas and agricultural pollution enforcement. Instead, it advocates for a prescriptive, government-led approach that integrates the value of natural capital into regulatory impact assessments.

This report by CPI/PUC-Rio uses an atmospheric transport model to demonstrate that deforestation in the Amazon rainforest reduces rainfall in Mato Grosso. A counterfactual analysis of the total deforestation of indigenous territories in the Xingu River Basin suggests a 7% reduction in average annual precipitation, with more severe impacts during the dry season. The study highlights the critical role of protected forest areas in sustaining agricultural productivity, hydroelectric power generation, and urban water supplies.

The report documents the dangerous environmental conditions at the Homestead detention camp in Florida, which was used to detain thousands of migrant children between 2016 and 2019. It highlights the camp's location adjacent to a Superfund site contaminated with arsenic, lead, mercury, and other toxins, as well as its exposure to chronic noise from the Homestead Air Reserve Base. The authors argue that these conditions constitute environmental racism and demand the permanent closure of the facility and comprehensive environmental testing.

The report analyzes the security landscape of West Africa, identifying a complex interplay of weak governance, economic inequality, and emerging threats like violent extremism and transnational crime. It highlights how these factors undermine regional stability and development, particularly in the Sahel. While Ghana is relatively stable, it faces risks from porous borders and internal community tensions. The document recommends pursuing economic integration via the AfCFTA, addressing youth unemployment, and strengthening regional security alliances to combat terrorism and trafficking.

The report examines how gender norms and power dynamics influence vulnerability and adaptive capacity in the ocean economy of SIDS and coastal LDCs. It highlights the undervalued roles of women in small-scale fisheries and tourism and analyzes how climate change, market shifts, and COVID-19 disproportionately affect women due to socio-economic structures. The document advocates for the systematic collection of sex-disaggregated data, the implementation of gender-transformative policies, and the alignment of international finance, such as Official Development Assistance (ODA) and climate risk insurance, with gender equality goals to enhance overall community resilience.

The report identifies a 43% increase in government support for Indian marine fisheries between FY 2016 and FY 2019, reaching at least INR 2,225 crore (USD 316 million). It highlights that fuel subsidies are the most significant support measure, growing 142% in the same period. The analysis emphasizes that while income support is vital for the high percentage of fishers living below the poverty line, input-based subsidies for fuel and vessel modernization risk encouraging overcapacity and overfishing. The report recommends a comprehensive evaluation of these high-risk measures and improved data transparency to align support with the National Fisheries Policy 2020 and Sustainable Development Goal 14.

The analysis of 404,375 tweets from 151 far-left and 75 far-right accounts reveals that both groups are primarily driven by oppositional narratives, where activity by one fringe inspires counter-mobilisation by the other. While the far right frequently engaged in hateful content targeting minorities and promoted conspiratorial views on COVID-19, the far left focused on social and economic justice, with only a small fraction of content meeting specific definitions of antisemitism. The report concludes that the far left does not pose a security threat equivalent to the far right and suggests that moderating far-right extremism could reduce overall counter-mobilisation.

The report examines the governance trajectories of Kenya, Mozambique, and Uganda, the only three African countries to have completed the APRM review process twice. It finds that while all three made legislative and constitutional strides in democracy and political governance, they remain vulnerable to ethnic conflict and struggle with persistent issues of corruption, poverty, and gender inequality.

The manual details a seven-step methodology for Rapid Village Assessments (RVAs) in the Upper Chindwin River region to support the 'Community-based integrated catchment management for conserving the Upper Chindwin River' project. The process involves collecting contextual data, village profiles, sketch mapping, and assessing ecosystem services using the RAWES toolkit. It also includes identifying threats based on Ramsar typologies and conducting rapid surveys for reptiles and birds. The ultimate goal is to short-list priority wetlands for community management and feed data into Community Action Plans (CAP) for sustainable agricultural, mining, and water management practices.

The TGNR project identifies a symbiotic relationship between corruption and organized crime that drives four main 'motors' of environmental degradation in Colombia: illegal gold mining, timber trafficking, wildlife trafficking, and illegal land appropriation. The report argues that corruption allows criminals to access power, while organized crime provides corrupt officials with illicit services like violence and extortion. To counter this, the project recommends legal reforms (such as classifying environmental crimes as predicate offenses for money laundering), strengthening state institutions, improving technological information systems to reduce official discretion, and empowering local communities to reduce their vulnerability to criminal networks. The document emphasizes that these illegal activities threaten Colombia's national security by funding armed groups and cause significant economic losses through tax evasion and 'criminal dumping'.

The document is a teaching guide from WWF-US focused on food waste, providing bell-ringer questions, informational resources, and lesson plans. It highlights that up to 40% of food produced globally is lost or wasted, with school cafeterias being a significant contributor. The materials include a 'Food Waste Warrior' toolkit for conducting school food audits and a worksheet that connects food waste to greenhouse gas emissions, biodiversity loss, and resource consumption.

The document examines the historical tendency of extractive companies in Africa to build exclusive 'island mode' infrastructure, which limits integration with host economies and reinforces the 'resource curse'. It advocates for a transition toward shared-use infrastructure—such as power, rail, and ports—to convert natural resource depletion into broader societal assets. The author suggests that while 70% of resource infrastructure investment could be shared among operators and another 30% with the public, achieving this requires stronger local governance, new internal corporate competencies in socio-economic development, and government incentives like tax offsets to compensate companies for the costs of open access.

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.

The document examines how Multistakeholder Initiatives (MSIs) and corporate entities influence the UN Food Systems Summit (UNFSS). It argues that the transition from state-led multilateralism to multistakeholderism allows transnational corporations and private foundations to direct policy and promote 'technofixes' and 'nature-based solutions' that maintain corporate dominance while ignoring structural inequalities and food sovereignty.

The YOUNGO Health Working Group emphasizes the critical link between planetary and human health, citing climate change as the greatest global health threat of the 21st century. The authors highlight the role of youth as frontline health workers and activists, calling for governments to integrate youth perspectives into UNFCCC and G20 preparations and to recognize climate change as a health emergency within their Nationally Determined Contributions.
