Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) in National Adaptation Plan (NAP) Processes - exploring a pathway for realizing rights and resilience to climate change +
This report explores the extent to which NAP processes recognize the linkages between climate change adaptation and the realization of SRHR, including maternal and newborn health, voluntary modern contraception, and gender-based violence. It draws on analysis of 19 NAP documents submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change by low- and medium- income countries, a sample of sector-specific NAPs for the health sector, and a selection of funding proposals for adaptation planning support from the Green Climate Fund. +
This report aggregates research on the use of grassroots solutions in addressing climate change. It uplifts the solutions that have too often been excluded from climate philanthropy, yet have great potential for scaled impact on the most urgent crisis of our time It powerfully affirms that funders who have traditionally invested in top-down strategies to the climate crisis can also make lasting, effective, and scalable investments in grassroots-driven responses. +

Strong Roots: Understanding the Importance of Myanmar’s Indigenous Women as Leaders in Developing Climate Change Solutions +
This book contains a series of essays predominantly written by Indigenous women from Myanmar.
On one hand, their daily activities in forests mean they hold the knowledge of how to grow seeds and plants, as well as care for native species and protect biodiversity. These roles create an important relationship between Indigenous women and the forests which surround their homes. On the other hand, Indigenous women are amongst the economically poorest populations in the world and rely on renewable natural resources. As such, they are at high risk of being impacted by climate changes and are vulnerable to (or already affected by) climatic shifts, with consequences for their health, food, housing, work life and personal security. As rural women tend to have less financial, physical and human resources than men, they have fewer options to respond to these changes. +

The Big Con: How Big Polluters are advancing a “net zero” climate agenda to delay, deceive, and deny +
This report presents clear evidence that “net zero” climate plans are simply the latest attempt by polluting industries... to escape responsibility to act to address climate change. +
Climate breakdown isn’t just an ecological crisis, serious though that is. It’s a crisis which exacerbates much of the inequality and injustice of the economic system it’s rooted in. But like climate change, economic systems are man-made.
This booklet argues that by building a climate justice movement that challenges the powerful, we can make a world where the needs of people and the planet matter more than corporate profits. +
The Climate Crisis - Climate Change Impacts, Trends and Vulnerabilities of Children in Sub Saharan Africa +
Children are the least responsible for climate change. However, they will bear the greatest burden of its impact. At the time of writing, nearly 160 million children live in high drought-severity zones and 500 million live in extremely high flood occurrence zones. In addition to this, it is estimated that by 2040 almost 600 million children will be living in areas of extremely high water supply stress conditions.
The aim of this report is to outline the current and projected impacts of climate change. It also explores the related climate hazards, risks and vulnerabilities for children in sub-Saharan Africa. +
The Contribution of Social Dialogue to the 2030 Agenda - Promoting a Just Transition towards sustainable economies and societies for all +
What is Just Transition and how is it achievable? This research paper shows through existing good practices that Just Transition is possible when unions sit around the table in social dialogue with employers and governments. +
This State of Environmental Justice 2020 Report follows on "from Down to Zero", the groundWork 2019 report on the politics of an (un)just transition. It looks at the impacts of the pandemic from global to local level, in particular reporting on the research of community activists in each of South Africa’s active coal fields. It also examines government’s actual climate response, as it bets on a fossil gas bonanza to deliver economic redemption and still punts the so called clean coal, even as Eskom abandons that myth. +
The Indigenous World 2021 is the unique result of a collaborative effort between Indigenous and non-indigenous activists and scholars who voluntarily document and report on the situation of Indigenous Peoples’ rights.

The Politics of Knowledge: Understanding the Evidence for Agroecology, Regenerative Approaches, and Indigenous Foodways +

Alongside recommendations for action, authors focus on unpacking five dominant questions: can these approaches feed the world? be scaled? provide meaningful livelihoods? solve the climate, biodiversity, and soils crises? accelerate transformation? +
This paper is an attempt to clarify what agroecology means, what it looks like and show that, when taken as a whole, agroecology and its various principles can lead to tremendous positive effects in terms of human rights and the right to food. +
