colombia: indigenous communities under firePolice in Colombia have violently suppressed protests from indigenous groups by firing bullets and throwing teargas. At the beginning of October, thousands of Colombia's indigenous people began a popular uprising around thecountry to protest about the cultural and physical genocide they are suffering at the hands of the state and todefend their territory, autonomy and culture. Police forces have repressed protests in Cuaca and Valle del Caucawith bullets and tear gas, killing some, including a child, and wounding more than one hundred. The indigenouscommunities in Colombia are becoming increasingly marginalized. They need your support! Censat Agua Viva/FoEColombia urges you to send a letter below to the Colombian embassy in your respective country.For full details go to: http://www.foei.org/en/get-involved/take-action/indigenous-community-under-fire-in-colombia

climate justice & energy: foei and foee teams gather in poznan for climate change talksFoEI and FoEE have sent strong teams to Poznan for the 14th Conference of the Parties (COP-14) to theFramework Climate Change Convention (UNFCCC). Their activities are complemented by an additional group thistime around, with about 50 activists from Young Friends of the Earth Europe also in Poland for the talks! Manythanks to FoE Poland, which has been involved in national preparations for the event. The two-week long meetingkicked off on 1 December under the banner 'good climate for negotiations' (although the temperature was only justabove zero degrees). Although the Convention's 192 signatory countries aren't expected to reach a final agreementto tackle climate change until COP-15 in Copenhagen next year, some deals may still be done in Poznan. Keyissues on the table include adaptation and mitigation of climate change in the global South, a North-South transferof funds to reach these goals, technology transfer for sustainable production in the South, industrialized countries'reduction of carbon dioxide emissions and implementation mechanisms. For a day-to-day account of what happened in Poznan read the FoEI blog at:http://www.foei.org/en/blogTo listen to Radio Mundo Real report from Poznan go to:http://www.radiomundoreal.fm/rmr/?q=enContact: Joe Zacune, FoEI climate justice & energy coordinator, joe.zacune@foe.co.uk, or Stephanie Long, FoEIclimate justice & energy coordinator, stephanie.long@foe.org.au

climate justice & energy: will ambition be the missing ingredient in poznan climate talks?The UN recently reported continuing increases in greenhouse gas emissions in industrialized countries, exposing aworrying lack of ambition when it comes to addressing climate change. FoEI is calling for industrialized (Annex I)countries to commit to emissions reduction targets of at least 40% less than 1990 levels by 2020; and is pressingthem to commit to a timetable of work that will lead to a strong post-2012 agreement in Copenhagen in December2009. A suite of financial mechanisms is also needed to provide reliable and consistent funds for mitigation andadaptation in developing countries through means other than carbon offsetting. Parties also need to focus on cleanrenewable energy and energy efficiency, rejecting false solutions such as carbon capture and storage, large dams,nuclear energy, agrofuels and proposals to use carbon trading mechanisms for forest conservation.Contact: Joe Zacune, FoEI climate justice & energy coordinator, joe.zacune@foe.co.uk, or Stephanie Long, FoEIclimate justice & energy coordinator, stephanie.long@foe.org.auMore information: www.foei.org/en/campaigns/climate

climate justice & energy: young foee 'wraps up' climate change! Young FoE Europe's 'Wrap Up' action for 2008 is now drawing to a close. Over 30 'Wrap Up' actions in atotal of 18 countries resulted in banner squares made by people of at least 30 different nationalities!There are over 1,200 squares, which were stitched together to make a banner that is an incredible 20mlong. On 11 December, Young FoEE presented the 'Wrap Up' messages to European environment minis-ters in Poznan.To check out Young FoEE's 'Wrap Up' video go to: www.youthclimatetour.eu/poznan-cop-14/For more information you can also go to: www.foeeurope.org/youngfoee/wrapup.htmlContact: sophie.manson@foeeurope.org

climate justice & energy: social movements in poznan demand climate justice!The concept of climate justice seems to be gathering support very quickly in many different parts of theworld, and there is a growing demand that industrialized countries be held accountable for the climatedebt they have incurred. The 'climate justice' slogan was very evident in Poznan when civil society organi-zations took to the city streets on 6 December to celebrate the Global Day of Action on Climate Change.The new Climate Justice alliance includes FoEI, Via Campesina, the Global Forest Coalition, Third WorldNetwork and many other groups.

europe: leadership on climate change melting away?Negotiations between the European Parliament and Council continue, but EU Heads of State andGovernment have effectively decreed that they alone will decide on the final laws, leaving room for a radi-cal weakening of the legislation at a forthcoming EU leaders' summit. FoE Europe and other environmen-tal groups took this as a sign that European leaders are preparing the ground to renege on their promisesof global climate leadership. The groups installed giant blocks of ice outside a Ministers' meeting to sym-bolize the impacts of climate change, and projected messages onto the Council building urging Ministersto show leadership.

More than 8,500 people took part in the online public vote.One of the candidates for the Worst Conflict of Interest Award, suspended European Commission officialFritz-Harald Wenig, tried to silence the Worst EU Lobbying Awards by taking legal action to have hisname removed from the nominations and not mentioned during the Worst Lobbying Awards ceremony.The court ruled that freedom of speech was more important in this case. And the winners were…….- Worst EU Lobbying 2008 - the award is shared by three agrofuel lobbyists, the Malaysian Palm OilCouncil, Brazilian sugar barons UNICA and energy company Abengoa Bioenergy for their use of mislead-ing information and greenwash. - Worst Conflict of Interest Award 2008 - the award was richly deserved by Finnish MEP Piia-NooraKauppi, who promoted interests of her future employer, a banking lobbying group, while still an activemember of the European Parliament.

foe europe criticizes compromise on cars and carbon dioxideInstead of making the car industry put its foot down and speed up progress in making smarter cars that

use less fuel, European politicians have decided to let it continue to coast along at its own pace for a fewmore years with a regulation riddled with delays, loopholes and concessions. On 1 December, Europeandecision-makers agreed a new regulation on cars and CO2, which sets a 130g CO2/km target for 2015and a 95g target by 2020. FoE Europe had been calling for much tighter restrictions - 120g CO2/km by2012 and 80g CO2/km by 2020. An opinion poll commissioned by FoE in five EU countries showed over-whelming support for measures to force carmakers to reduce fuel consumption by 25% immediately.Contact: Jeroen Verhoeven, FoE Europe, jeroen.verhoeven@foeeurope.org

argentina: president vetoes bill to protect glaciersIn mid-November, the Argentinean President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner vetoed a bill to protect glaciers inArgentina, even though it had already been passed by the Argentinean Senate by unanimous vote. The billincludes proposals for a National Glacier Inventory, and restrictions on polluting activities and the development ofinfrastructure that might threaten glaciers. Kirchner's veto threatens to undermine the whole region's climate policy,and has been strongly rejected by several environmental and civil society organizations. FoE Argentina issued acommuniqué after the presidential veto saying that it was a result of "the pressure of mining economic and politicalinterests."

australia: 96% want tests for toxic food additivesFoE Australia recently commissioned a poll that found that 9 out of 10 Australians want safety checks on nano-par-ticles in food. 92% also believe food companies should label food and food packaging that contain nano-particles,so customers can make an informed decision about whether or not they want to eat nano-foods or buy food innano-packaging. Only 15% said they would purchase foods containing manufactured nano-particles, while 40%said they would not purchase them at all. Test tube and animal studies have shown that some nano-scale forms offamiliar substances are toxic to people and the environment, yet food companies are not currently required to con-duct safety tests if ingredients have been approved for use in their normal bulk form.Details can be found at:www.foe.org.au/nano-tech/media/news-items/front-page-news-feed-1/96-of-public-want-tests-on-potentially-toxic-food-additives-poll-saysContact: Georgia Miller, FoE Australia, georgia.miller@foe.org.au

chile: government position in poznan criticizedChile's Alliance for Climate Justice, which includes CODEFF/FoE Chile, questioned the position of the Chilean gov-ernment at COP-14 in Poznan. Although agreeing that there is a need to correct global production patterns, and tocoordinate global UN mechanisms such as the climate change and biodiversity conventions, the Chilean govern-ment hardly practices what it preaches, since it continues to promote and allow unsustainable practices, includingmining, agroforestry and industrial fishing, and permits high levels of water and energy resources to be consumed,even though this has serious impacts on communities and ecosystems, including glaciers.

indonesia: foe accuses roundtable on sustainable palm oil of greenwashWhen palm oil companies met at the Round Table on Sustainable Palm Oil in Bali, WALHI/FoE Indonesiademanded the total cessation of further deforestation and land conversion for palm oil cultivation. FoEIndonesia rejects the industry-dominated RSPO because its principles and criteria 'sustain' the expansionof huge palm oil plantations, by certifying individual plantations instead of assessing companies' overallproduction. The RSPO thus allows companies to maintain a green and responsible image, even if theycontinue destroying forests and affecting local communities.

palestine: water and wastewater crisis unfolding in the gaza stripPENGON/FoE Palestine fears that the health and environmental consequences of the looming water andwastewater crisis in the Gaza Strip will be severe. Palestine's citizens use only one sixth of the water thattheir neighbors in Israel do, and rely heavily on the area's 155 water wells. But these are either out ofaction or not functioning properly because of power cuts and a lack of spare parts for pumps and genera-tors. The Gaza Strip has also run out of chlorine to disinfect drinking water, and environmental and healthdisasters seem imminent. A lack of fuel means that wastewater treatment plants have been closed and 77million liters of untreated wastewater is being pumped into the sea every day. Wastewater could soonflood the northern and southern areas of the Gaza Strip. Contact: Saleh Rabi, FoE Palestine, salehrabi@hotmail.com

philippines: helping communities claim their landsLRC-KSK/FoE Philippines is supporting the Taboli-Manobo S'dat Claimants Organization (TAMASCO) andneighboring communities who applied for a Certificate of Ancestral Domain Title in late 2006.

Coal mining also poses problems. The communities arenow working with FoE Philippines and others to document their cultural practices, especially their respectfor forests. They are also cultivating those small portions of their ancestral domains they are able to workon these days, growing organic grains, bananas and root crops, and managing their resources sustain-ably.Watch the 'Didipio' video at: www.youtube.com/lrckskvideosContact: Luz Indah P Abayan, FoE Philippines, indah.abayan@lrcksk.org

Previously, coal plants were obliged to use 'bestavailable technology' for limiting sulfur and nitrous oxides emissions, but this now has to be applied to car-bon dioxide emissions as well, following a 2007 Supreme Court ruling recognizing that carbon dioxide, theprinciple source of global warming, is a pollutant under the federal Clean Air Act. Coal plants emit 30% ofthe US's greenhouse gases.

new report: forest carbon trading exposedFoEI's climate change campaign has launched a new report on the risks of forest carbon trading. 'REDD Myths', isa comprehensive critique of a new mechanism - known as REDD - to reduce emissions from deforestation anddegradation in developing countries. REDD is being negotiated in the United Nations Framework Convention onClimate Change (UNFCCC), and is scheduled to become a part of the post-2012 agreement that nations pledgedto reach in Copenhagen in 2009. It will be a key area for discussion at COP-14 in Poznan. However, the reportargues that dangerous forest carbon trading proposals will undermine the stated objectives of the negotiations, andposes problems in three key areas: land rights, offsetting and plantations.To download the report go to:English: http://www.foei.org/en/publications/pdfs/redd-mythsFrench: http://www.foei.org/fr/publications/pdfs/redd-mythsSpanish: http://www.foei.org/es/publications/pdfs/redd-mythsContact: Joseph Zacune, Friends of the Earth International Climate Coordinator, joe.zacune@foe.co.uk

foei at wsf 2009The 2009 World Social Forum (WSF) 2009 will take place 27 January - 1 February in Belem, Brazil.

Still, the Program Integration Team (PIT) advises at least a minimal level of coordination toensure that people/groups who are going from FoEI are aware of all the FoEI activities, and hopefullyhave a common message. International programs and regions that plan to attend 2009 WSF are alsoasked to identify clear objectives for how participation in the forum will help overall program or movement-building goals. Please inform the Secretariat if there is any activity/meeting that you are planning! Butplease make sure you register your group and yourselves as participants, as there will be no central FoEIregistration.To register with WSF go to: www.fsm2009amazonia.org.br/forum-social-mundial?set_language=enContact: Ginting Longgena, FoEI Secretariat, ginting@foei.org
