The document outlines ten principles for the credible implementation of chemical recycling, emphasizing that it must complement rather than replace mechanical recycling and upstream reduction and reuse strategies. It argues that chemical recycling is currently unproven in its environmental performance and warns that it could increase carbon emissions or divert investment from more effective solutions. Key requirements include demonstrating a minimum 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to virgin resin, ensuring no negative impacts on local communities or nature, and restricting the definition of recycling to material-to-material applications, explicitly excluding plastic-to-fuel processes.

The Declaration on a Green COVID-19 Recovery argues that current recovery policies are failing by supporting fossil fuels and entrenching inequality. It calls for a mass movement of informed citizens to hold power to account and demands specific transformative measures, including a dedicated green recovery finance package for the global south, the end of fossil fuel subsidies, and the implementation of inclusive governance through citizen assemblies.

The author contends that the current global political economy is a 'neocolonial debt regime' where Global South nations are forced to divert funds from climate preparedness to pay creditors in the Global North. Using Belize as a case study, the text illustrates how debt-to-GDP ratios hinder public health and ecological resilience. The document calls for a shift from an 'insulting' aid-based model to a reparations-based framework, including the cancellation of all Global South debt, the implementation of 'climate-health-debt swaps', and the democratisation of international financial institutions like the IMF and World Bank.

The document critiques the current global energy system as a driver of climate change and systemic oppression, particularly affecting women in the Global South. It warns against 'false solutions'—such as greenwashing and 'purplewashing'—where corporations adopt environmental or feminist rhetoric without challenging underlying power structures. The report advocates for a 'Feminist Just Energy Transition' based on energy democracy, public ownership, and the centrality of care work and life sustainability over profit accumulation.

This paper examines 'green equity'—the use of equity investments to ensure climate-compatibility of projects under the Paris Agreement—and 'greening equity,' a strategy used by the International Finance Corporation to reduce coal exposure in its client financial institutions.

Over 200 civil society organizations are urging world leaders to stop international public finance for fossil fuels, noting that G20 members provide USD 77 billion annually to fossil fuels compared to USD 28 billion for clean energy. The statement calls for an immediate end to support for the entire fossil fuel value chain, the closure of financial loopholes, and increased climate finance for low-income countries in the Global South to ensure a just energy transition ahead of COP 26.

The report finds that international public financing for gas projects in low- and middle-income countries is four times higher than for wind or solar, creating a 'lock-in effect' that threatens climate goals. It argues that gas is no longer a necessary 'bridge technology' because renewables are often cheaper and more effective for energy access. The document recommends that international financial institutions cease all support for gas infrastructure and instead fund grid integration, technology transfer, and a just transition for affected workers.

The report finds that international public finance for gas projects in low- and middle-income countries averaged nearly USD 16 billion per year from 2017 to 2019, which is four times the amount provided for wind or solar. It argues that the 'bridge fuel' concept is obsolete due to the urgency of the climate crisis, methane leakage, and the falling costs of renewables. The document recommends that international public finance institutions end all support for gas exploration, production, and long-lived infrastructure, instead scaling up finance for grid integration, technology transfer, and universal clean energy access. Case studies of Argentina, Egypt, and India illustrate risks such as high subsidies, dependence on volatile export markets, and the creation of redundant parallel infrastructures for gas and electric vehicles.

The paper examines seven urban sustainability interventions in small and intermediary cities of the global South, focusing on disaster risk reduction, adaptation, emission reduction, and resource management. Using a framework to analyze actors and drivers, the study finds that the entities leading and financing projects significantly influence the inclusivity of the process and the resulting environmental framing. The analysis includes primary case studies from Nakuru, Kenya, and Udon Thani, Thailand.

The editors of Climate and Development critique the Reuters "Hot List" of 1,000 influential climate scholars for significant underrepresentation of women and scholars from the Global South, calling for systemic reforms in academic publishing and citation to dismantle colonial models of scientific practice.

A coalition of food, farming, and environmental organisations calls for a fundamental reform of the EU's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). The letter argues that the current unsustainable food system contributes to climate breakdown and biodiversity collapse, threatening the survival of farmers. The coalition proposes five overarching priorities for the post-2022 CAP: integrating Green Deal targets into national Strategic Plans, implementing the 'do no harm' principle, supporting sustainable farming practices, regulating markets to limit overproduction, and ensuring governance through transparency and accountability.

The document argues that urban climate resilience in dryland Africa requires alternative models of knowledge production and decision-making that prioritize social inclusivity and innovation. It highlights that rapid, expansive population growth in African cities increases land use change and leaves residents of informal settlements vulnerable to climate risks such as flooding and landslides due to a lack of basic services and secure tenure. Based on stakeholder interviews from the "Peri-Urban Resilient Ecosystems" partnership, the brief emphasizes democratic accountability, transparent decision-making, and community co-production as essential themes for scalable and replicable urban policy.

The statement argues that international public finance must shift from fossil fuels to clean energy to meet climate goals. It highlights that G20 members provide significantly more public finance to fossil fuels than to clean energy and calls for an immediate end to all new international public finance for fossil fuel projects across the entire value chain. The document urges governments and financial institutions to avoid loopholes, increase climate finance for the Global South, and prioritize low-income countries through debt relief and grant-based finance, specifically calling for a joint statement and leadership from the United Kingdom ahead of COP 26.

The 'Manuel d’Éducation Populaire Féministe' is a toolkit designed by Friends of the Earth International to foster a critical feminist consciousness. It combines theoretical frameworks on anticapitalist feminism and ecofeminism with practical instructions for organizing inclusive workshops. The guide emphasizes the intersectionality of patriarchy with capitalism, racism, and colonialism, arguing that the sexual division of labor is the material basis for women's oppression. It provides specific exercises to analyze the division of labor, identify gender-based obstacles in activism, and explore the links between environmental extractivism and violence against women.

The Feminist Popular Education Manual by Friends of the Earth International (FoEI) is a guide for facilitators to create transformative, inclusive learning spaces. It argues that patriarchy is an interconnected system of oppression linked to capitalism, racism, and colonialism, which manifests primarily through the sexual division of labour. The document outlines a comprehensive structure for inclusive workshops—including the use of 'mística' rituals and 'sentipensares' (feel-thinking)—and provides specific educational modules. These modules use tools like the '24 hours in the life of men and women' clock and territorial mapping to analyze how extractivism and patriarchal control impact women's bodies and territories. The ultimate goal is to foster an anti-capitalist, grassroots feminism that prioritizes the sustainability of life and the reorganization of care work.

The document critiques 'net zero' targets as a form of 'greenwashing' that allows continued greenhouse gas emissions by relying on unproven future technologies and carbon offsets. It argues that these targets often shift the burden of carbon sequestration to the Global South, facilitating 'carbon colonialism'. The authors call for 'Real Zero' targets, which require immediate, absolute reductions in emissions, particularly from developed nations, and the implementation of systemic solutions in energy, agriculture, and transport.

The report critiques 'net zero' targets as a form of 'greenwashing' that allows polluters to continue emitting greenhouse gases by relying on unproven technologies and carbon offsets. It argues that these targets often shift the burden of carbon sequestration to the Global South, constituting 'carbon colonialism'. The authors advocate for 'real zero' emissions, which require drastic reductions in fossil fuel use, the adoption of agroecology, and a transition to 100% renewable energy, particularly by developed nations in the North.

The Global Campaign argues that the second revised draft of the UN binding treaty on transnational corporations (TNCs) is insufficient and has "lost its soul" by failing to address the accountability gap and corporate capture. The statement highlights critical omissions, including the lack of recognition of TNC obligations to respect human rights, the absence of global value chain references, and the failure to establish effective international legal mechanisms or an international court. It further warns that the draft weakens the liability of parent companies and extends the scope to all enterprises regardless of transnational activity, contrary to Resolution 26/9. Finally, the campaign urges the postponement of the sixth session of the Working Group as a negotiating session, citing the Covid-19 pandemic's impact on the ability of civil society and affected communities, particularly in the Global South, to participate meaningfully.

The Global Campaign for Peoples' Sovereignty criticizes the second revised draft of the UN binding treaty on transnational corporations (TNCs), arguing it is too weak to achieve the goals of Resolution 26/9. The campaign highlights the failure to include obligations for TNCs to respect human rights, the omission of global production chains, and the lack of an international court for sanctions. It also warns that the COVID-19 pandemic hinders civil society participation, calling for alternative consultation methods before the sixth session of the Intergovernmental Working Group.

The research examines low-cost modifications to open wood fires in marginalized communities where clean-cooking fuels are inaccessible. While interventions like rock beds and ceramic or metal grates reduce fuelwood consumption and emissions, they are unlikely to reduce the adverse health impacts associated with household air pollution.
