Friends of the Earth International, October 2011: Friends of the Earth International promotes the respect and
enforcement of community rights as a means to resist corporate
power and create social change. Our member groups around the
world are working closely with local communities, demanding a
just transition towards sustainable rural and urban societies, in
contrast to the current profit-driven, neoliberal paradigm. This report focuses on campaigns that have the defence
and enforcement of community rights at the heart of their
struggles.
