EuroGeoSurveys (EGS) is a not-for-profit association representing national geological surveys across Europe.EGS provides geoscience data, research and policy-relevant expertise on raw materials, groundwater, energy transition and geohazards, supporting European decision-making through EU-funded projects, shared data infrastructure and coordinated scientific collaboration across member organisations.

Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) supports implementation of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity by coordinating global biodiversity policy, meetings, and reporting. It provides technical, scientific and administrative support to governments, promotes biodiversity conservation, sustainable use, and equitable benefit-sharing, and facilitates international cooperation on nature and ecosystems.

Germanwatch is an independent development, environmental and human rights non-governmental organisation advocating sustainable global development based on social equity, ecological protection and economic stability. It influences climate, trade and corporate policy, produces research and indices like the Climate Change Performance Index, and promotes fair, equitable climate action globally.

The ICRC study finds that widespread availability of small arms intensifies civilian harm in armed conflict. Drawing on field data, case studies and staff surveys, it links unregulated arms flows to higher civilian casualties, humanitarian access constraints and weakened compliance with international humanitarian law.

The UN Working Group reviews arms sector regulation, finding persistent exports linked to humanitarian and human rights law violations. It identifies weak political will, opaque oversight and limited human rights due diligence, and urges stronger application of the UN Guiding Principles by states and companies.

The report presents Norway’s fourth Universal Periodic Review, outlining human rights commitments, recent legal reforms, and policy measures. It records peer State feedback and extensive recommendations covering equality, child welfare, Indigenous rights, migration, climate action, and business and human rights, for Norway’s consideration and follow-up.

SIPRI maps the global footprint of the 15 largest arms companies, identifying 400 majority-owned foreign entities. International presence aligns with geopolitical ties and major arms markets. US and European firms dominate; Chinese and Russian companies show limited overseas reach.

The report examines how asset owners integrate nature and biodiversity into investment. Based on interviews with 20 global asset owners and managers, it finds growing recognition of financial materiality, limited governance and data maturity, early TNFD adoption, and reliance on climate-aligned ESG processes.

IFC’s report argues that repurposing power market designs is critical to achieving affordable, reliable and sustainable electricity. Drawing on global data, it finds competitive markets attract private capital, improve access and accelerate renewables, while recommending tailored reforms guided by innovation, integration and institutional strength.

The report argues the Global South is rapidly adopting cleantech as its cheapest growth pathway, driven by low energy access, limited fossil resources and abundant renewables. Falling costs, electrification and Chinese supply underpin accelerating solar and wind deployment, with fossil fuel demand for electricity expected to peak by 2030.

The report assesses energy financing by 65 major banks (2021–2024), finding fossil fuel finance more than double sustainable power supply. The energy supply financing ratio stagnates around 0.42:1, far below net-zero benchmarks, with regional disparities and weak translation of climate commitments into financing shifts.

This report analyses climate-driven food price inflation in the UK, linking global heat and drought shocks to rising import costs. It projects 25–34% cumulative food inflation by 2050, with disproportionate impacts on low-income households and increased poverty risks.

Global meta-analysis of 2,133 studies finds human pressures consistently shift community composition and reduce local biodiversity across terrestrial, freshwater and marine systems, but do not cause uniform biotic homogenisation. Impacts vary by pressure, organism group and spatial scale, informing conservation benchmarking.

This study analyses 202 US cities, linking historic redlining to higher present-day cumulative environmental burdens. Using EJScreen data and modelling, it finds redlined neighbourhoods face significantly greater combined pollution exposures, particularly from traffic, hazardous waste and wastewater sites, with strongest disparities in western regions.

This Ceres report outlines the financial and climate case for reducing livestock methane. It maps methane exposure across food supply chains and sets out strategies for companies and investors to manage risk, strengthen resilience, and capture value through near-term methane mitigation.
