About us
The Center for Transnational Environmental Accountability (CTEA) is a non-profit organization that supports communities impacted by Chinese international investments and climate change. CTEA promotes governmental and corporate transparency and uses public interest litigation to hold multinationals accountable. Through collaboration with partners in Africa, Latin America and Asia, CTEA bridges knowledge gaps between Chinese NGOs and their counterparts in the Global South and encourages China to fulfill international obligations to protect the environment and human rights beyond its borders according to international environmental and human rights treaties and norms. CTEA envisions that through forging paths for knowledge transfer, pursuing corporate and governmental transparency, and demanding legal accountability, environmental justice, and human rights standards will be elevated in communities negatively impacted by international investments.

COP28 reiterates a goal to halt forest loss in 7 years, but where’s the money? asks Alec Luhn. Leaders meeting at last week's U.N. climate conference in Dubai included a goal to halt and reverse forest loss by the end of the decade, but tropical forest nations say they are still not seeing the funding required to keep forests standing. For example, the Democratic Republic of the Congo says it has not seen any of the $500 million pledged to it last year to protect the Congo Basin rainforest, the second-largest in the world, reports Luhn. As forest nations wait for funding, some are controversially turning to untapped fossil fuel reservoirs underneath the forests. While carbon credits have come under fire this year, many at COP28 still say they see carbon credits as one way to bring in much needed funding to keep carbon and wildlife-rich forests standing.

🌍✨ Galina Angarova, a prominent Buryat leader and the Executive Director of Cultural Survival had powerful words at COP28. As the Chair of the Executive Committee of the SIRGE Coalition, she's challenging widely-held beliefs with a bold statement: 🔴 "Accelerating #mining for the green transition is a lie." 🌱 As we advocate for a greener future, let's ensure it's truly sustainable and respectful of all communities and ecosystems. #COP28 #Earthworks #EnvironmentalJustice
