The document argues that a small number of fossil fuel and cement producers, termed 'Carbon Majors', are responsible for a significant portion of global greenhouse gas emissions and the subsequent climate crisis. It details how these entities' activities and disinformation campaigns have led to severe human rights violations, particularly in the Philippines, where climate-induced disasters like Typhoon Haiyan have caused immense loss of life and livelihood. The text leverages international human rights law, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and the 'Carbon Majors' study to establish a framework for corporate accountability and legal liability for climate damages.

The Climate Bonds Initiative (CBI) introduces the 'AAA' framework—comprising Ambition, Action, and Accountability—to evaluate corporate transition plans. The guidance emphasizes that credible plans must include quantitative targets aligned with 1.5°C scientific pathways, robust financial and action plans, strong board-level governance, and transparent annual disclosures. It specifically warns against the over-reliance on carbon offsets and the use of national NDCs as primary decarbonization pathways.

The Climate Bonds Initiative offers technical assistance to institutions to improve the credibility and comparability of transition investment frameworks, reducing greenwashing risks. Their review process utilizes the 'Five Hallmarks for a Credible Corporate Transition' and aligns with international taxonomies and market principles. The service includes tailored guidance and the possibility of public endorsement for frameworks that meet core principles for credible transition finance.

The report highlights a significant gap between current EU agricultural emissions trends and the 2030 and 2050 climate targets. It identifies the absence of agriculture from the EU Taxonomy as a major barrier to defining sustainable activities. The author proposes repurposing the CAP, which accounts for approximately 30% of the EU budget, to fund a transition that requires an estimated annual public investment of EUR 155bn to reduce emissions by 53% by 2050. Key recommendations include adopting science-based sectoral criteria, reforming payment structures to reward green practices, and potentially extending the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) to agrifood products to prevent carbon leakage.

ClientEarth calls for the European Union to strengthen the rule of law and governance to address climate, biodiversity, and pollution crises. The organization advocates for the creation of a European Commission Vice-President for People and the Environment to oversee the European Green Deal's implementation and urges the EU to end public financial support for harmful activities, specifically fossil fuels and energy-intensive industries. The manifesto emphasizes the need for increased enforcement capacity at both EU and national levels and the strengthening of environmental democracy to ensure public participation and access to justice.

The briefing calls for a fundamental redesign of the next EU Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) to stop funding destructive fishing practices and instead prioritize marine biodiversity and small-scale coastal communities. It proposes specific spending targets, including a 50% climate and environment target and a 10% biodiversity target, and advocates for the full integration of the WTO Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies into EU law to prohibit harmful subsidies.

The document argues that EU governments continue to provide billions in direct and indirect fossil fuel subsidies, which undermines climate neutrality goals and the 'polluter pays' principle. It calls for a single, comprehensive definition of fossil fuel subsidies to improve transparency and accountability, and demands a bold timeline for phasing out these subsidies to shift financial support toward sustainable sectors.

The report 'Cradle to Grave' details the systemic health impacts of fossil fuels across their entire value chain—extraction, refining, transport, combustion, and disposal. It highlights how these processes cause respiratory, cardiovascular, and neurological diseases, disproportionately affecting marginalized communities in 'sacrifice zones'. The document argues that current climate policies overlook these multidimensional health harms and calls for the elimination of fossil fuel subsidies, the adoption of the 'Polluter Pays' principle, and a transition to renewable energy to prevent millions of premature deaths.

The document details how fossil fuels cause systemic health damage across their entire value chain, affecting individuals from fetal development through old age. It highlights the disproportionate burden on marginalized communities in 'sacrifice zones' and calls for the elimination of fossil fuel subsidies, the cessation of new exploration, and the internalisation of health costs through the 'polluter pays' principle to facilitate a just energy transition.

A statement from global health leaders calling for the total elimination of fossil fuels to address the root cause of the climate crisis and improve public health outcomes. The authors argue that transitioning to renewable energy will reduce premature deaths from air pollution, lower healthcare costs, and protect ecosystems, while warning against 'false solutions' like carbon capture and storage (CCS). They demand a just energy transition, the redirection of fossil fuel subsidies toward health and climate solutions, and the exclusion of fossil fuel industry lobbyists from climate negotiations.

The 'Cradle to Grave' report is a comprehensive global overview of the health impacts of fossil fuels, spanning from extraction to waste and from fetal development to old age. Grounded in over 600 scientific citations, it argues that fossil fuel reliance is a 'public health emergency' rather than just an environmental issue. The document highlights that fossil fuels cause immediate harms—including cancers, respiratory illnesses, and cardiovascular disease—and that 'clean' fossil fuel narratives are marketing strategies. It advocates for a rapid, just transition to renewable energy, the redirection of $7 trillion in fossil fuel subsidies toward public health and clean energy, and the application of the precautionary principle where research gaps exist.

The Global Climate and Health Alliance and various health leaders argue that a rapid phase-out of fossil fuels is essential to prevent overwhelming health consequences and to achieve the 1.5°C target of the Paris Agreement. They highlight that air pollution from fossil fuels causes 7 million premature deaths annually and cost the global economy over US$8.1 trillion in 2019. The letter calls for a just energy transition that prioritizes marginalized communities, the redirection of fossil fuel subsidies toward clean energy, and the exclusion of fossil fuel industry lobbyists from climate negotiations.

The document presents a framework for a just energy transition, detailing how moving away from fossil fuels improves public health, urban living, and energy access. It highlights benefits such as reduced respiratory diseases, improved mental health, and the creation of decent work in renewable energy.

The report evaluates WHA78 as a period of broadening dialogue and significant policy adoption, notably the Global Action Plan on Climate and Health (GAP) and the first pandemic agreement. While it celebrates the inclusion of youth, persons with disabilities, and mental health in the agenda, it highlights critical shortcomings, including the absence of fossil fuel phase-out language and uncertainties regarding the implementation and funding of the GAP. The document advocates for a shift in narrative, framing climate action as a strategic health investment rather than a cost, and calls for greater inclusion of Small Island Developing States (SIDS) and the Global South in leadership and R&D.

The GCHA argues that the transition away from fossil fuels is hindered by structural barriers, including economic dependence, infrastructure lock-in, subsidies, and industry lobbying. To address these, the GCHA proposes three primary solutions: implementing health cost accounting to reveal the true economic burden of fossil fuels, redirecting fossil fuel subsidies toward clean energy and public health, and banning fossil fuel marketing and sponsorships. The submission emphasizes that air pollution from fossil fuels causes approximately 5.3 million premature deaths annually and cost the global economy US$2.9 trillion in 2018.
