ISDS is a threat to our collective future
Investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) threatens a just transition from fossil fuels and the urgent need for a social and ecological transformation for people and the planet.
European ISDS Scorecard
The European ISDS Scorecard ranks 30 European countries across 10 indicators that capture the scale of each country’s treaty network, its policy direction, and the real-world use and financial impact of ISDS by its investors.
Investor protection blocking climate action
From 24-29 April 2026, Colombia and the Netherlands are co-hosting the First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels in Santa Marta. The goal is urgent and widely shared: to accelerate a just and orderly phase-out of coal, oil and gas.
The EU-Indonesia Comprehensive Economic Partnership and Investment Protection Agreements
The EU-Indonesia CEPA and IPA aimed to enhance trade and investment while promoting "sustainable" palm oil. However, reduced tariffs on forest-risk commodities and lack of community safeguards highlight the urgent need for strict enforcement of EU due diligence regulations to protect forests and local communities.
Europe must address ISDS as a systemic barrier to a just transition
Current discussions around fossil fuel phase-out create a key opportunity to make progress on addressing this barrier. Civil society organisations are calling on European governments to explore and act on collectively disengaging from ISDS.
