The Institute for Economic Justice (IEJ), in partnership with SECTION27 and the Center for Economic and Social Rights (CESR), conducted a project to bridge the gap between economics and human rights in South Africa. The report identifies systemic barriers, such as the lack of a shared language and the tendency of mainstream economics to ignore social objectives, while highlighting the potential for human rights to provide a normative framework for challenging economic orthodoxies. Key activities included publishing a peer-reviewed article on Human Rights Impact Assessments, producing advocacy factsheets based on UN recommendations, and hosting a multi-stakeholder convening. The findings suggest that moving beyond budget-focused advocacy toward systemic economic policy analysis and progressive jurisprudence can empower social movements and hold governments accountable for socio-economic rights.

The document evaluates the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty established by G20 Brazil, arguing that while it addresses symptoms like hunger and poverty, it lacks an explicit focus on the root cause: inequality. It highlights a global trend where in-country inequality has nearly doubled between 1980 and 2020. The author urges South Africa, in its 2025 G20 presidency, to elevate inequality to a headline challenge, develop standard metrics for its reduction, and explore coordinated international actions such as a global wealth tax.

The report critiques the Indonesian government's strategy of using natural gas as a 'bridge' fuel, specifically focusing on planned gas infrastructure in Bali, including a Floating Storage Regasification Unit (FSRU) and several gas power plants (PLTG). It argues that gas is not a clean energy source due to methane leaks and carbon emissions, which contribute to the extreme weather and water crises already affecting Bali. The document highlights social and environmental damages from existing gas projects, such as the PLTGU Pemaron, and argues that Bali's significant renewable energy potential—estimated up to 26 GW—should be prioritized over fossil fuels to achieve true energy independence and climate resilience.

The document details a legal challenge by LBH Padang against the Indonesian Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK) for failing to enforce sanctions against the PLTU Ombilin power plant. It highlights severe health issues among local children, high rates of acute respiratory infections (ISPA) in the Talawi district, and repeated pollution incidents involving fly ash and bottom ash (FABA). The briefing asserts that the plant's continued operation hinders Indonesia's emission reduction goals and violates the health rights of the local population.

The document argues that Indonesia is facing a climate emergency, evidenced by record temperatures in Larantuka and high greenhouse gas emissions. It criticizes the government's continued investment in coal-fired power plants (PLTU), the use of biomass co-firing which leads to deforestation, and the environmental damage caused by nickel mining for electric vehicle batteries. The guide advocates for community-based renewable energy and provides a roadmap for individuals to reduce their carbon footprint and engage in collective political pressure to demand accountability from policymakers.

Annette Maier, a teacher at Jefferson Middle School in San Gabriel, California, integrates WWF and Wild Classroom materials into her curriculum to educate students on biodiversity. Her approach includes symbolic animal adoptions, an endangered species project, and a 'Biodiversity Escape Room' activity. Students also participated in a live interaction with a WWF scientist and Mike Mitchell, the director of Kung Fu Panda 4, to learn about the connection between biodiversity, teamwork, and environmental protection.

The Table Mountain Water Source Partnership was established in 2020 following a severe drought (2017–2020) to coordinate groundwater management in Cape Town. The partnership, comprising government, private sector, academic, and civil society members, focuses on policy work, restoration of recharge areas, and the development of monitoring tools like groundwater dashboards. Cape Town is situated within two strategic water source areas: the surface-level Table Mountain Water Source Area and the Cape Flats-Cape Peninsula groundwater source area. The document highlights the risk posed by unmanaged private borehole abstraction and the increased likelihood of severe droughts due to the climate crisis.
