The study tracks Total's transition from receiving early warnings of catastrophic global warming in 1971 to a strategy of promoting scientific doubt in the late 1980s, and finally to a position of public acceptance of climate science coupled with policy delay by the late 1990s. It also notes Exxon's role in coordinating an international campaign via IPIECA to dispute climate science and weaken policy starting in the 1980s.

The We Mean Business Coalition views current corporate net-zero commitments as a global experiment where first-movers must be encouraged to course-correct rather than be deterred by criticism. The Coalition advocates for an 'ambition loop' where voluntary corporate action drives more ambitious government policy, and vice versa. To support this transition, the Coalition highlights the importance of tools like the SBTi Net-Zero Standard and the work of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) to ensure transparency and consistency in reporting.

The document examines the parallels between the COVID-19 pandemic and the climate crisis, specifically regarding how systemic risks cascade across borders and sectors. It advocates for a broader approach to resilience that incorporates human wellbeing, ecological health, and adaptive risk management to handle the complexity of climate extremes.

The research analyzes 130 case studies from the past decade to examine social mobilization against energy infrastructure, including low-carbon options. It identifies how national institutions and responses to global pressures influence the varying politics of energy transitions across different countries and energy types.

The document argues that planetary-scale solar geoengineering cannot be governed justly or inclusively under the current international political system. Consequently, the authors call for governments and the United Nations to establish an International Non-Use Agreement on Solar Geoengineering to prevent its deployment and control its technological development.

The report identifies six groups of Americans based on climate change attitudes: Alarmed, Concerned, Cautious, Disengaged, Doubtful, and Dismissive. As of September 2021, the Alarmed segment is the largest at 33%, having nearly doubled in size over five years. Combined, the Alarmed and Concerned make up 59% of the population, while the Doubtful and Dismissive comprise 19%. The document notes a general trend of increasing public worry and support for climate solutions, though it emphasizes that the Concerned and Cautious groups still lack a full understanding of climate threats and urgency.

The document catalogues endorsements of the term 'climate emergency' across different sectors. It notes that nearly 14,000 scientists from 156 countries have signed a warning stating 'planet Earth is facing a climate emergency'. In the media, The Guardian updated its style guide to recommend terms like 'climate emergency, crisis or breakdown', and Noticias Telemundo adopted 'climate emergency' over 'climate change' in 2019. Politically, 23 national governments, including Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, and the European Union, have declared a climate emergency, alongside 2,060 towns, cities, and counties globally. Additionally, the UN Secretary General and Pope Francis have called for emergency declarations, and a 2021 poll indicated that two-thirds of the global population views climate change as a 'global emergency'.

The document argues that colonial legacies continue to shape climate impacts and the way research is conducted, often disadvantaging the Global South. It proposes a framework for shifting power across three stages of the scientific process: project design, implementation, and dissemination. Key recommendations include adopting co-productive methodologies, ensuring equitable funding and hiring practices, practicing active reflexivity in the field, and diversifying publication channels to include regional and open-access journals. The authors emphasize that while individual researchers can take action, systemic change is required from institutions and funders to dismantle structural barriers.

The paper finds major discrepancies between military GHG emissions data published by the Ministry of Defence (MOD) and the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). It concludes that 'headline' figures understate scope 1 and 2 emissions by 36% to 71% and that lifecycle emissions and war-fighting impacts are entirely omitted from official statistics.

The report presents survey data from 108,946 Facebook users worldwide, revealing high global levels of worry and belief that climate change is happening, though perceptions of its causes and the responsibility for action vary significantly by region. While there is widespread support for renewable energy and the belief that climate action will not harm economic growth, willingness to engage in organized climate activism remains low in most regions, with a notable exception in Sub-Saharan Africa.

The report segments the Irish adult population into four groups: the Alarmed (36%), Concerned (48%), Cautious (12%), and Doubtful (3%). These groups differ significantly in their level of worry, perceived risk, and willingness to take personal action, though a broad majority of the population supports government climate policies, particularly those framed as redistributive and fair.

The report argues that 'net zero' initiatives are being manipulated by 'Big Polluters' to create an illusion of climate action while continuing to expand fossil fuel portfolios. It specifically analyzes the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market, the UN's High-Level Expert Group (HLEG) on Net-Zero Emissions Commitments of Non-State Entities, and the Race to Zero campaign. The analysis highlights how leadership roles in these bodies are held by individuals and organizations with deep ties to the fossil fuel industry, such as executives from banks that provide billions in fossil fuel financing and lawyers representing oil majors. For instance, the report notes that member banks of the Race to Zero, Net-Zero Banking Alliance, and GFANZ invested over US$500 billion in fossil fuels in 2021, with 25% directed toward new expansion. The document concludes that these initiatives allow polluters to greenwash their business plans and avoid meaningful regulation.

The GCF Secretariat's 2022 work programme focuses on six priorities: enhancing country-driven investments and direct access, building a USP-aligned portfolio, managing portfolio implementation, supporting Board governance, optimizing operational efficiency, and consolidating institutional capacity for the GCF-2 replenishment. The proposed administrative budget for the Board, Secretariat, and Trustee is USD 87,813,586, representing a 5.1% increase over 2021. Key targets include advancing a pipeline of USD 1.77-2.4 billion to review and increasing the share of the portfolio under implementation to over 80%.

The project, funded by the European Union under the GCCA+ Programme, aims to strengthen the use of marine and coastal ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) in Southern Africa. It focuses on improving national climate policies, promoting community participation, and establishing a regional Community of Practice to enhance the resilience of coastal communities against climate risks such as sea level rise and tropical storms.

The document argues that climate adaptation is most effective and sustainable when it is locally led, integrating Indigenous and local knowledge systems and ensuring the agency of marginalized groups. It emphasizes that local communities are best positioned to identify relevant stressors and solutions, and calls for the integration of locally led adaptation into national policies and social protection programs to address social inequities.

Reclaim Finance reports that Amundi continues to support coal-expanding companies despite a 2019 commitment to exit the sector. The analysis finds that 94% of coal companies in the portfolios of major French financial institutions lack satisfactory exit plans, and Amundi is invested in all of them. The document highlights failures in Amundi's passive management strategy, where it voted in favor of 78% of resolutions from 13 coal developers, and criticizes its engagement policy for lacking precise requirements and binding sanctions.

The Changing Markets Foundation and partner organisations write to Nestlé CEO Mark Schneider to demand transparency and action on methane emissions. Referencing their 'Blindspot' report, the authors state that none of the 20 largest meat and dairy companies analysed report methane emissions separately or have concrete targets to reduce them. Nestlé specifically scored 34.6 out of 100 in the ranking, indicating insufficient action. The letter requests specific data on investments in methane abatement and meat alternatives over the last five years and recommends that Nestlé set science-based targets for absolute emissions reductions, including scope 3, and support policies that drive a shift toward sustainable diets.

The document advocates for a whole-of-government approach to climate change in Canada to ensure coherent policy implementation across diverse departments. Based on a survey of eight countries and in-depth analysis of the United Kingdom, the United States, and British Columbia, the report outlines five essential requirements for success: sustained executive leadership, adequate funding and mandates, empowered personnel, aligned departmental mandates, and public transparency.

The research evaluates the risk of 'mitigation deterrence,' where the pursuit of greenhouse gas removal (GGR) technologies may discourage urgent emissions reductions. Through nine deliberative workshops, the authors analyzed the political and economic mechanisms of this 'attraction of delay' and identified discursive strategies used by GGR advocates to deflect these concerns. The paper concludes that mitigation deterrence is a significant issue that must be recognized in climate policy and suggests governance frameworks to ensure GGR does not replace carbon reduction.

The Kingdom of Eswatini's Initial Adaptation Communication (AdCom) identifies key climate hazards such as droughts, floods, and heatwaves, and details national efforts to mitigate these impacts through flood control, irrigation, and climate-proofed infrastructure. It highlights the role of the National Climate Change Policy (2016) and the National Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan (2015-2020) in guiding adaptation actions involving government, NGOs, and the private sector.
