The document presents a collection of 36 internal and public documents from 1963 to 2017, detailing how the oil industry—specifically Exxon, Shell, Mobil, and the American Petroleum Institute (API)—understood the link between fossil fuels and global warming decades ago. It argues that despite internal consensus on the potential for 'catastrophic' impacts, these companies pivoted in the late 1980s to a strategy of manufacturing doubt, funding denier groups, and misleading the public and policymakers to protect their business models.

Two national surveys of American adults found that 47% are willing to pay more per month for 100% renewable electricity, with an overall average willingness to pay of $16.25. The highest willingness to pay is associated with liberal Democrats, younger adults, racial/ethnic minorities, those with graduate degrees, and individuals who perceive renewable energy as economically beneficial or fossil fuel pollution as harmful to health. Notably, higher income does not correlate with a higher willingness to pay, suggesting the issue is not primarily about affordability.

Based on two national surveys conducted between 2018 and 2019, the report finds that 47% of Americans are willing to pay more for renewable energy, with an overall average additional payment of $16.25 per month. Willingness to pay is driven by perceptions of health risks from fossil fuels, economic benefits of renewables, and political ideology, rather than income levels.

Forty-seven civil society organisations have urged the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) to align its operations with the Paris Agreement by ending investments in fossil fuels and prioritizing renewable energy and energy access for poor communities.

Thirty-three organizations support the Climate Risk Disclosure Act of 2019, arguing that standardized climate risk reporting by the Securities and Exchange Commission is essential for investor protection, financial stability, and the transition to a low-carbon economy.

The document identifies that state-owned companies manage most coal mining and power production in India and tracks coal subsidies for 2016 and 2017. Additionally, it notes that while subsidies for renewable energy and electric vehicles more than doubled in FY 2022, India's support for fossil fuels remained four times higher than for clean energy, though this gap narrowed from FY 2021.

The report examines the Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) system, detailing ten case studies where corporations used international arbitration to challenge national laws and court rulings related to environmental protection, public health, and indigenous rights. It argues that ISDS creates a 'regulatory chill' where governments avoid passing public interest laws to avoid astronomical fines. The document specifically critiques the European Union's proposed Investment Court System (ICS) and Multilateral Investment Court, claiming these reforms only address procedural issues while maintaining the substantive imbalance that privileges investors over sovereign states and human rights.

A December 2018 survey of 1,114 US adults found that while 73% believe fossil fuel air pollution harms health, only 55% could name a specific health problem. Most respondents cited general respiratory issues, while neurological problems, diabetes, and kidney disease were largely unknown. Additionally, 56% believe certain groups are more vulnerable to these effects, most frequently identifying seniors and those in polluted areas.

Between December 2018 and April 2019, public awareness of the Green New Deal in the U.S. increased significantly, but support became sharply polarized along party lines. While Democratic support remained high, Republican support dropped dramatically, particularly among those with high awareness of the proposal and those who frequently consume Fox News.

The document outlines how plastic contributes to greenhouse gas emissions across its entire lifecycle, from fossil fuel extraction to waste management, and proposes systemic reductions over technical fixes.

The document highlights a gap in Indonesian public perception where coal is not recognized as a primary driver of air pollution, despite the country producing 60 per cent of its electricity from coal. It suggests that replicating awareness-raising strategies from India and China could empower Indonesian civil society to demand health-prioritizing policies and the reduction of fossil fuel combustion.

The document is a data submission form from PPC South Africa detailing activity data and CO2e emissions for various fuel types and production processes for the 2018 calendar year. It lists emissions associated with Light Fuel Oil, Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO), Diesel, and Waste oils, as well as production calcination emissions related to non-metallic minerals such as cement, lime, and dolomite.

The Union of Concerned Scientists' comparison of ExxonMobil's 2018 and 2019 climate reports finds that the company relies on unchanged energy demand assumptions and maintains a belief that the world will fail to meet Paris Agreement temperature goals. The analysis highlights inconsistencies in how the company describes methane reduction efforts, a lack of detailed low-carbon investment breakdowns, and the use of problematic graphs to suggest alignment with IPCC scenarios. While ExxonMobil acknowledges for the first time that its fossil fuel products are part of the climate problem, it continues to emphasize uncertainty regarding the pace of the global energy transition.

The report examines the increasing engagement of UN human rights treaty bodies (HRTBs) with climate change, specifically analyzing their 2018 Concluding Observations (COBs), general comments, and thematic initiatives. It highlights a shift toward addressing a broader diversity of countries, including developed nations, and identifies a continuing emphasis on adaptation and procedural rights over mitigation. The document provides detailed syntheses of recommendations from the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR), and the Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC), emphasizing the disproportionate impacts of climate change on women, children, and persons with disabilities.

The report details how plastic creates a global health crisis through a complex life cycle. It identifies toxic emissions during fossil fuel extraction (fracking) and refining, the leaching of endocrine disruptors and carcinogens from consumer products, and the release of hazardous metals and dioxins during waste incineration. It further examines the pervasive presence of microplastics in the food chain, drinking water, and human tissues, linking them to inflammation, oxidative stress, and various chronic diseases. The document emphasizes that marginalized communities bear a disproportionate burden of these risks and calls for a transition away from plastic production based on human rights and the precautionary principle.

Earthjustice urges the U.S. Senate to reject the nomination of Andrew Wheeler to head the EPA, claiming he has operated a "dirty energy favor factory" and would continue policies of "climate denial" and "dirty energy bailouts."

The document examines how the Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) integrates climate change into its monitoring of State obligations. In 2018, the CRC issued climate-related recommendations to 47% of reviewed States, focusing heavily on procedural rights, education, and disaster-sensitive social protection. While mitigation was addressed in only 14% of climate recommendations—specifically targeting fossil fuel exploitation in Norway and coal-fired power plants in Spain—the CRC also urged Niger to address deforestation and land regeneration. The briefing highlights a trend of linking recommendations to Sustainable Development Goal 13 and emphasizes the need for children's meaningful participation in climate policy-making.

The document analyzes the CESCR's approach to climate change in 2018, noting that 42% of reviewed States received climate-related recommendations. While the Committee emphasizes mitigation and procedural rights, it has less focus on adaptation and has not yet addressed broader climate justice issues like international financial flows.

The document analyzes how the CEDAW monitors the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (ICEDAW) to address climate change. It highlights that in 2018, the Committee made climate-related recommendations to 75% of reviewed states, focusing heavily on adaptation (44%) and procedural rights (37%), while mitigation received significantly less attention (7%). The briefing details specific state obligations across four areas: mitigation, adaptation, procedural rights, and international cooperation, emphasizing the role of General Recommendation 37 (GR37) in framing disaster risk reduction with a gender perspective.

The report finds that while electricity finance reached a high of USD 36 billion in 2017, only one-third benefited residential users, and clean cooking finance plummeted by 73% compared to 2015-16. It highlights severe underinvestment in Sub-Saharan Africa and the need for innovative financing to reach vulnerable groups, including women and displaced persons.
