In Bulgaria, following a long-term campaign by IPEN PO Za Zemiata, the Supreme Administrative Court ruled against the controversial plastic waste (RDF) fueled incineration plant project planned for the center of the capital city, Sofia. Following a prolonged legal battle, this ruling highlighted significant deficiencies in public participation and health risk assessments by the authorities.

In Ratchaburi Province, Thailand, the community will receive 22 million baht (approx. $700,000) in compensation for health and environmental damage caused over decades by the Wax Garbage Recycle Centre Company. This landmark ruling marks Thailand’s first successful ecological class action to secure compensation from a corporate polluter. IPEN PO Ecological Alert and Recovery–Thailand (EARTH) has for many years provided scientific, legal, and advocacy support to the affected community and continues pursuing further compensation. For this work and more, EARTH Director Penchom Saetang was recognized for the 2025 MIRROR50 ‘Change Maker’ award

In the Kyrgyz Republic, the government adopted regulations developed by IPEN PO Independent Ecological Expertise (IEE) to protect human health and the environment from hazardous chemicals. The policy won a Gold Award from the Future Policy Awards

In South Africa, IPEN PO groundWork won a major victory when the Thor Chemical company was forced to send its toxic waste back to the EU for cleanup. For many years groundWork efforts included documenting toxic impacts, supporting affected communities and workers, and pressing for a national hazardous waste policy. Based in the UK, in the 1970s Thor Chemical was ordered by the British government to close or clean up its polluting mercury recycling operations. Instead, the company moved the facility to rural South Africa and for decades polluted the community and poisoned its workers, leaving four workers dead and dozens sick from mercury poisoning.

Timur Tengah dan Afrika Utara

In Tunisia, work by IPEN PO Association of Environmental Education for Future Generations (AEEFG) helped end the use of dozens of highly hazardous pesticides (HHPs). The group’s work resulted in a ban on 24 HHPs banned and led the Minister of Agriculture to end policies allowing the use of dozens more. Prior to the AEEFG campaign, Tunisia allowed farmers to use 80 HHPs, while less than 10 are allowed today.

Advocacy efforts by IPEN POs led to the successful influence of local governance in Senegal, resulting in a draft decree to eliminate mercury from dental amalgams, promoting sustainable practices that benefit the environment and public health.

Asia Selatan

In Sri Lanka, advocacy and legal work by IPEN PO Centre for Environmental Justice (CEJ) led to a historic high court ruling ordering US $1 billion in compensation for the X-Press Pearl spill, reinforcing the ‘polluter pays’ principle and highlighting the urgent need to tackle plastic pollution and toxic chemicals. CEJ and IPEN documented effects from the 2021 spill in a detailed report and CEJ continues to pursue public policy and legal remedies to hold the shipping companies accountable for damage from the spill.
