This briefing by the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment examines the impact of neonicotinoid pesticides on honey bees, biodiversity, and global food security, with a specific focus on the agricultural landscapes of Ontario and Québec.

This fact sheet from the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment outlines the link between Alberta's reliance on coal-fired power plants, greenhouse gas emissions, and the resulting impacts of climate change on human health both globally and within Alberta.

Tariq Banuri, Director of the Division for Sustainable Development at the UN, argues that integrating climate and development goals requires making renewable energy affordable and competitive. He asserts that reducing the cost of renewables is the only way to ensure global economic growth and poverty reduction while lowering emissions.

The 2005 WHO Global update on air quality guidelines provides health-based recommendations for particulate matter (PM), ozone (O3), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and sulfur dioxide (SO2). Key revisions include lowering the ozone guideline to 100 ug/m3 (8-hour mean) and the sulfur dioxide 24-hour guideline to 20 ug/m3. The guidelines for NO2 remained unchanged. The document emphasizes that no safe threshold exists for many pollutants, meaning guidelines aim to reduce risk rather than eliminate it entirely. It also introduces interim targets to help highly polluted areas progressively reduce concentrations.

This document is an atlas published by the World Health Organization (WHO) that examines the impact of environmental hazards on children's health. It categorizes risks into 'traditional' hazards, such as air pollution and poor water and sanitation, and 'emerging' hazards, including chemical exposures, e-waste, and climate change. The report aligns these challenges with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and advocates for multisectoral cooperation to reduce preventable child mortality and lifelong disease risks.

This 2006 report by INFOTOX for Eskom reviews international literature to identify risk factors for quantifying health impacts associated with PM, NO2, and SO2 emissions. It highlights the cardiovascular and respiratory risks of particulate matter, identifies highly susceptible subpopulations (children, elderly, and the chronically ill), and notes significant data gaps in South African provincial hospital admission records that hinder precise local risk quantification.

This executive summary from the Center for International Environmental Law argues that major fossil fuel companies are legally and ethically responsible for the climate crisis. It asserts that these companies were aware of the risks of their products as early as the 1950s but chose to protect their own assets while funding extensive disinformation campaigns to undermine climate science and stymie regulation.

This factsheet describes how the chemical, plastics, and fossil fuel industries use deceptive tactics—including withholding data, funding biased science, and creating front groups—to block the regulation of toxic substances like PFAS, BPA, and benzene. It recommends banning these corporations from regulatory processes and establishing independent scientific support for policymakers.

This legal opinion by the Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) argues that the export of pesticides prohibited or not approved in Europe to countries in Africa and Central America is illegal under international law, regional agreements, and human rights obligations.

This guide explains the mechanics, applications, and implementation requirements of securitization as a tool for climate finance. It details how pooling fragmented green assets into tradable securities can mobilize institutional capital, recycle balance sheets for originators, and manage credit risk through tranching. The document provides a framework for assessing financial market readiness across shallow, emerging, and mature markets, and outlines the specific capacity needs for ministries of finance and regulators to support these instruments.

This fact sheet from the Centro de Movilidad Sostenible discusses the environmental and safety impacts of the global trade in used light vehicles, highlighting the disproportionate burden on low- and middle-income countries and the need for stricter import regulations.

This briefing by the American Gas Foundation, presented to Congressional staff, outlines the potential of Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) as a carbon-neutral energy source derived from biomass, landfills, and wastewater treatment facilities. It highlights RNG's versatility across multiple sectors, its compatibility with existing pipeline infrastructure, and its potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and create jobs.

This fact sheet from the Environmental and Energy Study Institute explains the role of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs)—including black carbon, methane, tropospheric ozone, and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)—in global warming. It argues that while carbon dioxide (CO2) is the primary driver of long-term climate change, reducing SLCPs can provide rapid, short-term benefits to slow the rate of warming and improve public health and food security.

This fact sheet by Ember provides global electricity insights ahead of COP27, detailing the acceleration of clean energy, regional trends in Europe and Asia, and the role of coal mine methane emissions.

This report by Ember analyzes the North Sea's position as the world's largest offshore wind basin, detailing its current capacity, recent installation records, and the strategic necessity of international collaboration to overcome supply chain challenges and enhance European energy security.

This report by Ember examines how the closure of the Strait of Hormuz exposes the fragility of global fossil fuel dependencies, particularly in Asia, and argues that scaling 'electrotech' (EVs, solar, wind, batteries, and heat pumps) provides a viable path to energy security and economic independence.

A position statement by Friends of the Earth Africa ahead of COP27, opposing the expansion of natural gas exploitation in Africa and advocating for a transition to 100% renewable energy by 2050.

This report argues that European transnational corporations frequently commit human rights and environmental violations globally while avoiding accountability, a process facilitated by EU trade, investment, and carbon permit policies that outsource negative impacts to the Global South.

A position paper by Friends of the Earth Africa released ahead of COP27, arguing against gas exploitation in Africa and advocating for a transition to 100% renewable energy by 2050.

This October 2016 report by Friends of the Earth International argues that the current global trade and investment regime prioritizes the economic profitability of agribusiness over food sovereignty and agroecology. It details how neoliberal investment frameworks, including 'mega-regional' agreements and Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs), undermine the ability of states to implement public policies that protect human rights and the environment, effectively blocking the transition to sustainable, small-scale food production.
