New study examines patterns in the restriction of civil society's scope for action against resource exploitation

Resource and energy demand has increased over the last few decades, with more extraction and land use happening in more countries than ever before and citizens fighting for their rights and working to preserve their livelihoods. The authors of this study traveled to India, South Africa, Mexico, and the Philippines to study projects and talk to civil society activists and organizations on the ground. The resulting analysis provides insights on how to better address and monitor resource and environmental policy projects.

The Business & Human Rights Resource Centre previously featured the following cases mentioned in the report:

- Posco re steel project in India

- Lapanday Foods Corp. re community struggle against banana plantation in the Philippines
