Dangerous pesticides from Bayer and BASF - a global business with double standards
The German pesticide manufacturers Bayer and BASF sell a large number of pesticide active ingredients in South Africa and Brazil that are not authorised in the EU because they are harmful to humans and nature. From a human rights perspective, this is a questionable business with so-called double standards. The brochure shows cases of indigenous communities in Brazil and farm workers in South Africa whose health is jeopardised by the use of pesticides.

The right to housing in the context of climate change, urbanisation and environmental degradation - Summary
The report shows how the right to housing and related human rights are increasingly threatened by climate change, urbanisation and environmental degradation and presents local experiences from Africa, Asia and Latin America. It calls for a coherent approach to policy-making. In six reports from five countries (Cameroon, El Salvador, Nigeria, Peru and the Philippines), civil society organisations demonstrate community-based solutions. The report concludes with recommendations to national and local governments and the United Nations human rights bodies.
The full report is available in English. Summaries are available in English, Spanish and French.
