An open letter from mental health professionals and advocates urging leaders in the health industry to end relationships with PR and advertising firms that also serve the fossil fuel industry, arguing that such partnerships create a conflict of interest and undermine public health and trust.

This guide by the Global Climate and Health Alliance provides a framework for health organizations to select public relations (PR) and media agencies that are not linked to the fossil fuel industry. It argues that health organizations can use their trusted status to revoke the 'social license' of fossil fuel companies by refusing to work with agencies that promote products harmful to public health and the climate.

This executive summary, published by the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment and For Our Kids, investigates the influence of the oil and gas industry on K–12 climate and environmental education in Canada. The authors argue that fossil fuel companies use 'petro-pedagogy' to obscure their role in driving climate change, normalize fossil fuel use, and delay climate action by filling government funding gaps in education.

Friends of the Earth International issues a statement calling for a legally binding global plastics treaty that addresses the entire lifecycle of plastics, from production to disposal.

This report by the Center for International Environmental Law examines the fossil fuel industry's involvement in the development and promotion of geoengineering technologies, arguing that these strategies are used to justify the continued use of carbon-intensive fuels and avoid systemic change.

A statement by Friends of the Earth International for International Women’s Day 2017, featuring testimonies from women and transgender environmental activists globally.
