Every day, Friends of the Earth International members fight for environmental and social justice across the globe. These victories are proof that when communities unite, they can take on the most powerful corporations and governments – and win.

From the Amazon rainforest to the streets of major cities, our grassroots federation has won concrete struggles that protect our planet and defend human rights. These aren’t just symbolic gestures – they’re tangible changes that improve lives, protect ecosystems, and challenge the destructive power of corporate greed.

Each success story below represents years of courageous grassroot organizing, strategic campaigning, and unwavering commitment to justice. Behind every legal victory, every stopped project, every protected forest, are communities and people who refused to accept the status quo. 

Our victories demonstrate that system change is possible. When polluters damage entire ecosystems, we hold them accountable. When governments bow to fossil fuel lobbies, we mobilize to demand clean energy transitions. When so-called development projects privatize public goods, we organize and join the resistance.

These victories wouldn’t be possible without supporters like you. Your solidarity amplifies our voice, strengthens our campaigns, and helps us build the movement we need to confront the current interconnected crisis of human rights, climate change and biodiversity loss.

Together, we’re not just protecting the environment – we’re fighting for a just and sustainable world for all.

Each victory showcased here represents the collective power of our global federation. From Africa to Latin America, from Asia-Pacific to Europe, Friends of the Earth groups are winning battles that seemed impossible just years ago. Join us in celebrating these triumphs – and in building the next generation of victories
