The Greenhouse Development Rights (GDR) framework is a proposed climate regime architecture designed to balance emission reductions with the development needs of developing countries by defining national obligations based on responsibility and capacity relative to a 'development threshold'.

A media briefing by the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) and Friends of the Earth Europe detailing a study on the feasibility of Europe reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 40% below 1990 levels by 2020 and 90% by 2050. The document outlines the necessary energy system transformations, lifestyle changes, and financial obligations to developing countries required to achieve climate justice and limit global temperature increases to 2°C.

This executive summary by Friends of the Earth International critiques the proposed Reducing Emissions from Deforestation in Developing countries (REDD) mechanisms. The document argues that REDD focuses on reducing emissions rather than stopping deforestation, potentially rewarding polluters and industrial agriculture while marginalizing Indigenous Peoples and forest-dependent communities. It warns that funding REDD through carbon offsetting undermines global climate mitigation efforts and risks creating social and environmental harm, such as the replacement of natural forests with monoculture plantations.

A statement by Friends of the Earth urging President Obama to move beyond attendance at the Copenhagen climate negotiations and commit the United States to mandatory greenhouse gas emission reductions and global leadership on climate justice.

This report by Friends of the Earth International examines how the Asian Development Bank (ADB) finances projects that contribute to climate change and increase vulnerability in the Asia Pacific region. Through case studies in Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and Bangladesh, the report argues that the ADB's support for fossil fuels and destructive development projects outweighs its climate mitigation initiatives.

The briefing 'Forests are more than carbon' by Friends of the Earth International argues that forest agreements must prioritize the total cessation of deforestation and the protection of Indigenous land rights over carbon-market mechanisms. It warns that REDD mechanisms may incentivize monoculture plantations and allow industrialized nations to avoid economic transformation through offsetting, while advocating for funding via carbon taxes and national programs for community-driven conservation.

This briefing by Friends of the Earth International argues that forest conservation policies must prioritize biodiversity and the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities over carbon sequestration. It specifically critiques the REDD system and carbon markets, suggesting instead that funding for stopping deforestation should come from new taxes on emissions in industrialized countries and be directed toward community-led conservation.

This fact sheet from Friends of the Earth International argues that forest conservation policies must prioritize biodiversity, human rights, and the land rights of Indigenous Peoples and local communities over carbon-centric market mechanisms like REDD, which the author claims undermine sovereignty and climate goals.

Friends of the Earth International (FoEI) outlines its positions for the COP 14/MOP 4 negotiations in Poland, demanding a climate justice framework based on historical responsibility. The organization calls for steep emission reductions by industrialized countries, the rejection of carbon offsetting and market-based forest mechanisms, and significant financial and technology transfers to developing nations to support adaptation and mitigation.

This report by Friends of the Earth International presents testimonies from nine countries to illustrate the human impact of climate change. It emphasizes that Indigenous Peoples and communities in the global South are most vulnerable due to their reliance on land and water. The document argues for a global movement to achieve climate justice by challenging the economic systems driving unsustainable production and consumption.

This report by Friends of the Earth International presents testimonies from nine countries, highlighting the disproportionate vulnerability of the Global South to climate change. It emphasizes that local communities often possess ancestral knowledge and traditional practices—such as agroecology and sustainable water management—that are more effective for adaptation than top-down institutional measures. The document calls for a global movement for climate justice and a transition away from fossil fuels to protect the most marginalized populations.

This report by Friends of the Earth International presents testimonies from individuals and communities in nine countries—Australia, Brazil, Honduras, Malaysia, Mali, Peru, Swaziland, Tuvalu, and the United Kingdom—to highlight the human impact of climate change. It emphasizes that populations in the Global South and indigenous peoples are the most vulnerable due to their close ties to land and water. The document argues that current government and international responses are often insufficient or misaligned with local needs, advocating instead for a global movement based on climate justice, the restoration of traditional lifestyles, and a transition away from fossil fuels.

This 2005 report by Friends of the Earth International (FoEI) examines the critical link between environmental degradation and rural poverty. It argues that neoliberal economic models, characterized by privatization and industrial exploitation of natural resources, exacerbate poverty by stripping local communities of their self-determination and access to essential resources. The document presents various case studies from the Global South and North to demonstrate that poverty eradication is possible when communities maintain control over their natural assets through sustainable, community-led management and the recognition of environmental rights.

This report by Friends of the Earth International argues that poverty, particularly in rural areas, is inextricably linked to environmental degradation and the loss of community control over natural resources. It critiques neoliberal economic models, trade liberalization, and industrial agriculture for exacerbating poverty and ecological collapse, while presenting various community-led case studies as sustainable alternatives for poverty eradication.

This report by Friends of the Earth International (FOEI) argues that environmental rights are fundamental human rights. It details various global struggles where communities resist the impacts of neoliberal economic globalization, corporate impunity, and state negligence. The document outlines a framework for environmental justice, emphasizing the right to a sustainable lifestyle, a healthy environment, access to water, and food security, while documenting specific legal and social battles against multinational corporations and governments.

This fact sheet, published by the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE), provides a curated list of "fossil-free resources" and advocacy networks to support climate change education in Canada. It aims to protect students from the influence of fossil fuel companies and corporate interests by offering educators and parents alternatives to industry-sponsored materials.

A commemorative statement from the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) honoring the life and legacy of Professor Saleemul Huq (1952-2023), a scientist and advocate for climate justice and southern leadership in climate action.

This fact sheet by the Center for International Environmental Law analyzes key arguments presented by States during the first week (December 2-6) of climate justice hearings at the International Court of Justice. It contrasts the positions of major polluting States against those of climate-vulnerable nations regarding the applicability of international law, human rights, transboundary harm, and reparations in the context of the climate crisis.

This advocacy briefing outlines a 'participation blueprint' for the Board of the Loss and Damage Fund (LDF), arguing that meaningful participation by rightsholders and vulnerable communities is essential for the Fund's legitimacy and effectiveness. The document provides detailed recommendations for governance, operational modalities, and capacity-building to ensure the LDF adheres to human rights obligations and climate justice principles.

This report examines the evolving role of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) in addressing the intersection of climate change and states' obligations under the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD). It details the Committee's initial steps toward integrating climate-related concerns into its state reporting procedures and recommendations, particularly regarding Indigenous Peoples and people of African descent.
