The power of trust-based partnership: dare to trust

🌍 For over 30 years, Both ENDS has worked with global partners to promote environmental justice. Our long-term relationships are built on shared values, respect, and trust. Together, we're enhancing knowledge, networks, and advocacy for a more just and sustainable world.

Last year, with support from the Postcode Loterij, we launched the "Dare to Trust" project, distributing grants to 14 grassroots women’s groups with no strings attached. We believe in a chain of trust—from donor to intermediary to local partner.

Maaike Hendriks, our project lead, says: "The core of Dare to Trust is letting go of control. Local groups know best how to use their funding effectively." These grants empower women’s groups to improve their communities and environment on their terms.

During my experience of working with ecology and agroecology in Yucatan I have learned that education is based on adequate and contextual information and that it has taught me better about the small producers of Mexico.

"We must end the fossil fuel era. Power to the people!"

Through a cinematic journey, "Shifting Power" provides an intimate lens into the lives of African communities, whose existences and futures are being reshaped by the gas boom. The documentary positions itself not merely as an observer but as a narrative woven from the fabric of the affected communities, offering a humanizing perspective on the socio-economic and environmental upheavals they face.

The overall goal of the JWHi grant was to develop Olfa Jelassi’s advocacy capacities in international climate politics as well as to increase her skills to transfer the knowledge gained on international level to the national and local level. The grant enabled her to take part in the COP22 in Marrakesh. She attended the first week of the COP-session and that helped her to understand in a better way the negotiations process, the work regarding different agenda items and how to balance attendance between negotiations and side events.

Joint Call to Action: International Civil Society Demands Justice for Berta Cáceres' Murder Victims in Honduras

8 years and 4 months have passed since the crime against Berta and the Honduran justice system has not confirmed the sentences of those convicted and has not prosecuted the intellectual authors. We are extremely concerned that independent administration of justice and international agreements on human rights are not being upheld.

📣 EU Exits Energy Charter Treaty (ECT): A Milestone for Climate Action

The European Union's decision to exit the Energy Charter Treaty (ECT) is a landmark victory for climate action. For years, the ECT's Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) mechanism has enabled fossil fuel companies to challenge climate policies, hindering progress towards sustainability.

Marius Troost: "Ondanks decennia van klimaatonderhandelingen op de klimaattoppen - waar wij als Both ENDS ook elk jaar aan deelnemen - is er nog steeds geen bindend verdrag dat het blijvende oppompen van fossiele brandstoffen aanpakt. Zo gaan we klimaatverandering nooit stoppen. Een internationaal verdrag is de enige manier om het eeuwige naar-elkaar-kijken te doorbreken!"

De Tweede Kamer heeft afgelopen jaren grote zorgen over dit project geuit. Ze toonde betrokken door het stellen van vragen (mondeling en schriftelijk), moties in te dienen en het Ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken om een onafhankelijke evaluatie van de besluitvorming rondom dit project te verzoeken. De Ministeries en Atradius DSB lijken echter niet tot actie over te gaan.

The Saamaka people in Suriname have long resisted the government's violation of their land rights. Despite a 2007 ruling by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR) against such violations, the government continues to grant logging and mining concessions on Saamaka territory without free prior and informed consent (FPIC).

New report shows this has led to deforestation, land dispossession, and disruption of their livelihoods >

De nieuwe coalitie gaat flink bezuinigen op ontwikkelingssamenwerking. Dat zijn investeringen in miljoenen mensen. Mensen die te maken hebben met klimaatveranderingen. Die duurzaam en eerlijk voedsel produceren. Vrouwen die opkomen voor hun rechten. Zij worden keihard geraakt door die bezuinigingen.

For public development banks that see it as their mission to fight poverty, you would think that the way they finance infrastructure, such as power plants or dams, would involve the resettlement and full economic rehabilitation of the people affected.

In reality social and environmental safeguards policies in place for the protection of people and the environment far too often are treated as add-ons.
