The richest 0.1% (8 million people) globally emit more than the world’s poorest 44% (3.5 billion people) combined. They emit more than three times as much as the entire population of sub-Saharan Africa (1.3 billion people). The carbon pollution of the richest 1% is directly contributing to increased climate disasters such as floods, fires, droughts and food crises. Their yearly emissions will cause an estimated 1.9 million excess deaths from heat.

The toolkit provides a structured curriculum for local governments, civil society organizations, and community leaders to plan and implement anticipatory action before disasters strike. It details the use of impact-based forecast triggers, inclusive and community-led approaches, and conflict-sensitive practices to guide early interventions. Covering legal frameworks, risk assessment, and operational tools, the guide aims to help practitioners design and deliver effective, equitable responses in the critical window before impact.

Barangays are the first line of protection when disasters strike, yet incomplete utilization records, fragmented government oversight and limited technical capacity can prevent disaster funds from being used strategically to protect communities. Focusing on 12 barangays across six municipalities in Eastern Samar and Catanduanes, this study examines how Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Funds […]

This participatory storybook grew out of a five-month journey with the members of the Hilabaan Women’s Association and the Linao Women Fish Vendor’s Association from Eastern Samar. Together with researchers from the College of Development Communication (CDC) of the University of the Philippines Los Baños and Oxfam Pilipinas, they shared their stories, reflected on their experiences, and helped enlighten what has changed in their lives and communities with electricity from renewable energy.

Civil society groups from Southeast Asia called on the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member states and their energy ministers to “open their hearts to justice by putting people and gender equality at the center of energy governance and planning for a just and inclusive energy transition (JET) in the ASEAN region”.

The report, Climate Plunder: How a powerful few are locking the world into disaster, presents extensive new updated data and analysis which finds that a person from the richest 0.1% produces more carbon pollution in a day than the poorest 50% emit all year. If everyone emitted like the richest 0.1%, the carbon budget would be used up in less than 3 weeks.
