FORM 990, PART 111, LINE 4A	THE INTERAMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE (AIDA) IS A NONPROFIT INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL LAW ORGANIZATION THAT AIMS TO PROTECT THE RIGHT TO A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT IN THE AMERICAS, WITH A FOCUS ON LATIN AMERICA. MANY NATIONS IN LATIN AMERICA DO NOT HAVE ENVIRONMENTAL LAW ORGANIZATIONS ACTIVELY DEFENDING THE PUBLIC INTEREST. WHEN POSSIBLE, AIDA FILLS THAT GAP. AIDA IS THE ONLY REGIONAL ORGANIZATION OF LATIN AMERICAN EXPERTS PROVIDING FREE LEGAL AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT TO PROTECT THE REGION'S ENVIRONMENT AND COMMUNITIES. OUR MISSION IS TO STRENGTHEN PEOPLE'S ABILITY TO GUARANTEE THEIR INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE RIGHT TO A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT. WE DO THAT THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT, IMPLEMENTATION, AND EFFECTIVE ENFORCEMENT OF NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL LAW COUPLED WITH THE PROVISION OF TECHNICAL EXPERTISE. AIDA SELECTS EMBLEMATIC CASES AND PROJECTS IN WHICH CONTRIBUTING EXPERTISE IN INTERNATIONAL AND COMPARATIVE LAW CAN ESTABLISH CRITICAL PRECEDENTS. WE TRY NEW APPROACHES, EXPANDING THE APPLICATION OF LAWS AND AGREEMENTS BEYOND THEIR USUAL SCOPE. WE WORK IN CLOSE COLLABORATION WITH GRASSROOTS GROUPS, NATIONAL AND REGIONAL ORGANIZATIONS, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, AND INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS. AS TRUSTED PARTNERS AT MANY LEVELS, WE ARE ABLE TO ACT AS A BRIDGE BETWEEN GROUPS, AND TO REPLICATE SUCCESSFUL STRATEGIES ACROSS THE REGION. WE WORK AT THE NEXUS OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND HUMAN RIGHTS, BRINGING INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS LAW TO BEAR ON ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. AIDA HAS CONTRIBUTED LEGAL EXPERTISE IN NEARLY 20 COUNTRIES ACROSS LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN, WITH EXTENSIVE ONGOING WORK IN MEXICO, GUATEMALA, COSTA RICA, COLOMBIA, ECUADOR, BRAZIL, PERU, BOLIVIA, CHILE AND ARGENTINA. AIDA'S MAIN PROGRAM SERVICE IS TO PROVIDE LEGAL SUPPORT IN INTERNATIONAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL LAW. OUR ORGANIZATIONAL INITIATIVES PRIORITIZE: BRINGING CLEAN ENERGY TO LATIN AMERICA AND PREVENTING INCREASED DEPENDENCE ON FOSSIL FUELS; SAFEGUARDING NATURAL SYSTEMS THAT REDUCE AND MITIGATE CLIMATE CHANGE, INCLUDING OUR OCEANS, KEY CARBON SINKS AND CRITICAL FRESHWATER RESOURCES; DEFENDING TRADITIONAL AND INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES; PROTECTING ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENDERS; AND ADVOCATING FOR HEALTHY AIR. BELOW, WE PRESENT A LIST OF CASES AIDA LITIGATED AND PROJECTS WHERE WE PROVIDED LEGAL SUPPORT THIS FISCAL YEAR. NO FEES ARE SOUGHT OR RECOVERED FOR ANY AIDA CASEWORK. LITIGATION AND ADVOCACY BEFORE NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL TRIBUNALS OR DISPUTE RESOLUTION MECHANISMS ARGENTINA AIDA CONTINUES WORKING WITH LOCAL PARTNERS ON LEGAL STRATEGIES TO STOP THE ADVANCE OF HYDRAULIC FRACTURING ("FRACKING") WITHOUT APPROPRIATE ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION OR SAFEGUARDS, PARTICULARLY IN THE VACA MUERTA GAS FIELD. WE ARE ENGAGED IN A CASE THAT SEEKS NULLIFICATION OF FRACKING LICENSES IN THE COUNTRY, AND WE ARE ASSISTING LOCAL GROUPS IN THE PROVINCE OF MENDOZA, PROVIDING CRITICAL LEGAL AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT TO STRENGTHEN THEIR LITIGATION. WE DELIVERED A DOCUMENT TO THE INTER-AMERICAN COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS (IACHR) ON THE IMPACTS OF FRACKING IN VACA MUERTA AND THE VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS. WE ALSO PRESENTED A REQUEST FOR A THEMATIC HEARING WITH THE IACHR IN COORDINATION WITH OUR MAPUCHE ALLIES TO SHARE UPDATED AND RELEVANT INFORMATION ON THE SITUATION OF THE VIOLATED RIGHTS OF MAPUCHE COMMUNITIES IN VACA MUERTA. BOLIVIA AIDA CONTINUES EFFORTS TO PROTECT LAKES POOP AND URU URU IN BOLIVIA FOLLOWING THE JULY 2019 REQUEST THAT THE RAMSAR CONVENTION SECRETARIAT VISIT AND ISSUE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE RECOVERY AND PRESERVATION OF THESE LAKES. THE LAKES ARE AT GRAVE RISK FROM MINING, RIVER DIVERSION AND THE CLIMATE CRISIS, THREATENING THE SUBSISTENCE OF INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES AND THE REGION'S UNIQUE PLANT AND ANIMAL SPECIES. AIDA WROTE THE RAMSAR CONVENTION PETITION WORKING WITH AN ALLIANCE OF SIGNATORY BOLIVIAN OF ORGANIZATIONS, INCLUDING THE BOLIVIAN INDIGENOUS WOMEN'S NETWORK. AIDA DEVELOPED THIS PETITION APPLYING A GENDER PERSPECTIVE DOCUMENTING THE SPECIALIZED IMPACTS ON WOMEN WHO GENERALLY PROVIDE WATER AND CARE FOR FAMILIES AND ANIMALS. WE ALSO IDENTIFIED A PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN THREAT: HIGH LEVELS OF MERCURY POLLUTION IN THE WATER FROM MINING OPERATIONS. AFTER TWO YEARS OF ADVOCACY, THE BOLIVIAN GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCED A PLANNED VISIT FOR THE RAMSAR SECRETARIAT THE FALL OF 2021. WHILE THE VISIT HAS BEEN POSTPONED DUE TO COVID, THIS REPRESENTS AN IMPORTANT ADVANCEMENT TOWARD THE PROTECTION OF THESE CRITICAL ECOSYSTEMS AND THE PEOPLE WHO RELY ON THEM. BRAZIL AIDA WROTE AND SUBMITTED A REPORT ON THE SITUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENDERS TO THE UN RAPPORTEUR ON DEFENDERS, REPORTING VIOLATIONS AND THREATS AGAINST INDIGENOUS AND NON-INDIGENOUS GROUPS IN BRAZIL. THIS LED US TO PARTICIPATE IN THE 46TH HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL SESSIONS, IN WHICH OUR ATTORNEY ISSUED A STATEMENT CALLING ATTENTION TO THE COMMUNITIES AFFECTED BY THE BELO MONTE MEGA-DAM IN THE BRAZILIAN AMAZON. THIS CONTRIBUTION PROVIDED THE RAPPORTEUR KEY INFORMATION THAT WILL BE INCLUDED IN REPORTS, AND ARE REFLECTED IN STATEMENTS MADE ABOUT BRAZIL IN THE LAST YEAR. WE ALSO SENT A DETAILED REPORT TO THE INTER-AMERICAN COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS REGARDING THE CASE OF BELO MONTE, INDICATING HOW SEVERAL AFFECTED COMMUNITIES ARE BEING THREATENED BY NEW PROJECTS THAT ARE ENTERING THE REGION, IN ADDITION TO THE EXISTING CONFLICTS THAT HAVE INCREASED DUE TO THE DEFORESTATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY OF THE CURRENT GOVERNMENT.
FORM 990, PART 111, LINE 4A	CHILE WE MONITOR COMPLIANCE WITH A HISTORIC SENTENCE FROM CHILE'S SUPREME COURT, WHICH ORDERED ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITIES OF DIFFERENT LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT TO CLEAN UP AN EMBLEMATIC SACRIFICE ZONE IN VENTANAS, CHILE. WE ARE MEETING PERIODICALLY WITH DEFENSORA AMBIENTAL, A LOCAL NGO IN CHARGE OF THE CASE, HELPING DOCUMENT GOOD PRACTICES FOR AIR QUALITY MONITORING THAT WILL BE OFFERED TO THE STATE AS A CONTRIBUTION TO THEIR FULFILLMENT OF THE SENTENCE. AIDA ALSO SUPPORTED LITIGATION RELATED TO HUMAN HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE IN THE COMMUNITIES OF QUINTERO AND PUCHUNCAV, WHICH SUFFER NEGATIVE HEALTH EFFECTS FROM THE OPERATION OF OUTDATED COAL PLANTS. AIDA CONTINUES TO PROTECT SOUTHERN PATAGONIA FROM THE DESTRUCTIVE SALMON INDUSTRY. OUR ADVOCACY TO PROTECT PATAGONIA'S OCEANS SUPPORTED CHILE'S ENVIRONMENTAL SUPERINTENDENT IN DEVELOPING A STRICTER ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL PROGRAM FOR THE SALMON INDUSTRY, INCLUDING AN EVALUATION OF ALL OPERATIONAL FACTORS AND AN ONLINE MONITORING SYSTEM FOR OXYGEN LEVELS. AS A RESULT OF OUR EFFORTS WITH INDIGENOUS KAWSQAR COMMUNITIES AND LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS, THE SUPREME COURT RULED IN FAVOR OF PROTECTING LANDS AND SEAS FROM EXPANSION OF THE SALMON INDUSTRY, REPEALING AN ENVIRONMENTAL PERMIT THAT HAD AUTHORIZED THE CONSTRUCTION OF A SALMON FARM IN LAKE BALMACEDA, CITING THE PROJECT'S FAILURE TO CONSIDER THE OBSERVATIONS OF LOCAL COMMUNITIES. THIS CASE SET AN IMPORTANT PRECEDENT AS THE NATION'S HIGHEST COURT RECOGNIZED THE VALUE OF INDIGENOUS PARTICIPATION IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION PROCESS OF PROJECTS THAT COULD AFFECT ANCESTRAL TERRITORIES. COLOMBIA THANKS TO THE ONGOING COLLECTIVE WORK WITH OUR PARTNERS AND ALLIES, THE NATIONWIDE JUDICIAL MORATORIUM ON FRACKING IN COLOMBIA IS STILL IN EFFECT TODAY ALTHOUGH EXCEPTIONS ARE BEING PROPOSED FOR PILOT PROJECTS. THIS REPRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT PRECEDENT FOR LATIN AMERICA. IN DECEMBER 2020, AIDA HELPED ORGANIZE A COALITION TO BRING LEGAL ACTION TO ALSO STOP PILOT FRACKING PROJECTS IN COLOMBIA. WE ARE COORDINATING THE LEGAL TEAM MADE UP OF ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS AND LEGAL CLINICS. IN SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER 2020, AIDA PARTICIPATED IN HEARINGS FOR THE LITIGATION CHALLENGING THE COUNTRY'S FRACKING REGULATION BEFORE THE COLOMBIAN COUNCIL OF STATE. WE PRESENTED THE CLOSING ARGUMENTS, THOROUGHLY ANALYZING THE EVIDENCE PROVIDED TO THE JUDGE AND DEMONSTRATING THAT CURRENT REGULATIONS FAIL TO RESPECT THE PRECAUTIONARY PRINCIPLE BY NOT CONTEMPLATING THE RISKS AND IMPACTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT AND HUMAN HEALTH. IN OUR WORK ON COAL, AIDA PARTICIPATED IN THE SIMULTANEOUS FILING OF COMPLAINTS BEFORE THE OECD NATIONAL CONTACT POINTS IN IRELAND, THE UNITED KINGDOM, SWITZERLAND AND AUSTRALIA. WE DENOUNCED THE NONCOMPLIANCE OF THE PARENT COMPANIES OF THE CERREJN MINE, ANGLO AMERICAN, GLENCORE AND BHP BILLITON, AMONG OTHERS, FOR NON-COMPLIANCE WITH THE OECD GUIDELINES FOR MULTINATIONAL COMPANIES. THE COMPLAINTS ARE BASED ON THE MULTIPLE HARMS CAUSED BY THE CERREJN COAL MINE TO THE LIFE AND HUMAN RIGHTS OF THE INDIGENOUS, AFRODESCENDANT AND CAMPESINO POPULATIONS OF LA GUAJIRA AND THE LACK OF DUE DILIGENCE IN THE FRAMEWORK OF THEIR BUSINESS ACTIVITIES IN RELATION TO THE MINING EXPLOITATION CARRIED OUT BY THE CERREJN COMPANY. THE COMPLAINT WAS SUBMITTED BY THE IRISH ORGANIZATION GLOBAL LEGAL ACTION NETWORK (GLAN), WITH AIDA PROVIDING SUPPORT, TOGETHER WITH ALLIES INCLUDING THE INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCY CHRISTIAN AID, THE ASK INITIATIVE IN SWITZERLAND, ABCOLOMBIA IN THE UNITED KINGDOM, AND THE COLOMBIAN HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS CINEP AND CAJAR. TO HOLD THE INTER-AMERICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK (IDB) ACCOUNTABLE FOR ITS INVESTMENT IN THE HIDROITUANGO DAM, WE CONTINUE TO CENTER OUR ADVOCACY STRATEGY ON A COMPLAINT TO THE BANK'S INTERNAL ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM (MICI). THIS COMPLAINT DEMONSTRATES HOW INTERNATIONAL COORDINATED EFFORTS TO DIALOGUE WITH THE IDB BASED ON CONCRETE CASES AND EVIDENCING THE BANK'S POOR PERFORMANCE THROUGH CLEAR EXAMPLES HAS HELPED TO DEEPEN THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE POLICIES AS WELL AS THE MECHANISMS, THUS STRENGTHENING THE ARGUMENTS, STRATEGIES AND RECOMMENDATIONS THAT THE IDB WORKING GROUP USES AND MAKES. OUR DIRECT WORK WITH COMMUNITIES HAS ALSO HELPED TO BUILD CAPACITIES AND DEEPEN THE TYPES OF PETITIONS AND ARGUMENTS MADE, IMPROVING DIALOGUE BETWEEN COMMUNITIES AND THE BANK. WE ARE CONTINUING TO ADVISE THE COMMUNITY AFFECTED BY THE HIDROITUANGO DAM DURING THE COMPLIANCE REVIEW PHASE AT THE MICI AND PROVIDING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND DIALOGUE WITH THE MICI. WE HAVE CONTINUED OUR ACCOMPANIMENT OF THE FOUR INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OF THE SIERRA NEVADA DE SANTA MARTA. WHILE THERE ARE CONTINUED THREATS FROM PROPOSED MINING ACTIVITIES, MOST RECENTLY AIDA HAS BEEN PARTICIPATING IN MEETINGS WITH THE COALITION TO DEVELOP A STRATEGY FOR LITIGATION REGARDING A NEWLY PROPOSED DAM NEAR THE CITY OF VALLEDUPAR. IN COLLABORATION WITH LOCAL AND NATIONAL ALLIES, WE DEVELOPED A FACT SHEET AND ARE IN THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING AN AMICUS CURIAE REGARDING THIS CASE. AIDA ALSO CONTINUED EFFORTS TO PROTECT THE SANTURBAN PRAMO FROM THE IMPACTS OF LARGESCALE GOLD MINING. IN SEPTEMBER 2020, AIDA HELPED THE COMIT DE SANTURBAN AND OTHER ALLIES FILE A POPULAR ACTION AGAINST THE MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT (MADS) AND OTHER PUBLIC AUTHORITIES FOR NOT PROTECTING THE SANTURBAN PRAMO AND FOR ALLOWING THE PRESENCE OF THE LARGE-SCALE MINING PROJECT MINESA. THE POPULAR ACTION ARGUED A VIOLATION OF COLLECTIVE RIGHTS AND SOUGHT COURT ORDERS AIMED AT PROTECTING THE ECOSYSTEM. WE ALSO REVIEWED AND SUPPLEMENTED THE FINAL BRIEF OF THIS LAWSUIT, WHICH WAS NEVERTHELESS REJECTED BY THE COURT IN APRIL 2021. AIDA THEN SUPPORTED THE COMIT IN DEVELOPING AN APPEAL, WHICH IS STILL PENDING A FINAL DECISION. EVEN THOUGH CITIZENS IN CAJAMARCA, COLOMBIA DECIDED AGAINST MINING IN THEIR TERRITORY THROUGH A CONSULTATION PROCESS, THERE ARE TWO CURRENT LAWSUITS THAT THREATEN TO OVERTURN THIS DECISION AND THE PROTECTION OF LOS NEVADOS DEL TOLIMA PRAMO BY ALLOWING SOUTH AFRICAN ANGLOGOLD TO BUILD THE LA COLOSA MINE. AIDA FILED AN AMICUS CURIAE BRIEF IN ONE OF THESE LAWSUITS, HIGHLIGHTING THAT THE CONSULTATION AND THE MUNICIPAL AGREEMENT ARE A CLEAR EXPRESSION OF INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL LAW THAT PROTECTS THE PRAMOS AS SOURCES OF FRESH WATER, CARBON SINKS, WETLANDS OF INTERNATIONAL IMPORTANCE, AND AS CRITICAL RESERVES OF BIODIVERSITY. AIDA ATTORNEYS SUPPORTED A LAWSUIT FILED BY VARIOUS INDIGENOUS TERRITORIAL AUTHORITIES AGAINST ENTITIES OF THE COLOMBIAN STATE, HELPING DEVELOP A COMPREHENSIVE AND COORDINATED RESPONSE TO COUNTERACT THE IMPACTS AND CONDUCT OF ILLEGAL MINING ACTIVITIES IN THE AMAZON. OUR INTERVENTION FOCUSED ON DEMONSTRATING THAT THE AMAZON IS AN INDISPENSABLE ECOSYSTEM AT THE REGIONAL AND GLOBAL LEVEL. WE ALSO PRESENTED TECHNICAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE LACK OF OPTIONS FOR REMEDIATING MERCURY CONTAMINATION IN WATER, AND HIGHLIGHTED COLOMBIA'S INTERNATIONAL OBLIGATIONS TO PROTECT POPULATIONS IN SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF VULNERABILITY FROM THE EFFECTS OF MERCURY WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE MINAMATA CONVENTION, AS WELL AS THE INTERNATIONAL OBLIGATIONS OF THE STATE TO GUARANTEE THE PROTECTION OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES, ESPECIALLY THOSE RELATED TO THE RIGHT TO FOOD
FORM 990, PART 111, LINE 4A	ECUADOR AIDA WORKED IN COLLABORATION WITH LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS TO DEVELOP STRATEGIES TO DEFEND THE KIMSACOCHA PRAMO IN ECUADOR AGAINST THE LOMA LARGA PROJECT. IN ADDITION, WE PRESENTED A DOCUMENT WITH LEGAL ARGUMENTS TO THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY OF ECUADOR ON THE NEED TO MAINTAIN THE CONSTITUTIONAL PROTECTION OF THE PRAMOS ,AN ECOSYSTEMS ESSENTIAL FOR WATER SUPPLY, CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION AND MITIGATION, AS WELL AS THE ECOLOGICAL, SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE FOR THE COUNTRY AND THE REGION. GUATEMALA AIDA CONTINUED WORKING TO HOLD THE INTER-AMERICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK ACCOUNTABLE FOR ITS INVESTMENTS IN THE POJOM AND SAN MATEO DAMS THROUGH A COMPLAINT TO THE BANK'S INTERNAL ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM (MICI). THE MICI RELEASED ITS FINAL REPORT IN APRIL 2021, CONCLUDING THAT IDB INVEST HAD FAILED TO COMPLY WITH ITS POLICIES ON INDIGENOUS PEOPLES, GENDER AND PARTICIPATION. THE REPORT RECOGNIZED VARIOUS IMPORTANT ASPECTS THAT WE PRESENTED IN THE COMPLAINT, INCLUDING THAT THE PROJECT TOOK PLACE IN INDIGENOUS PEOPLES' TERRITORIES AND DISREGARDED THE PRESENCE OF INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES; IGNORED THE GENDER PERSPECTIVE AND THAT ITS IMPLEMENTATION HAS SERIOUSLY AFFECTED THE LIVES OF WOMEN; AFFECTED IMPORTANT CULTURAL SITES WITHOUT TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION CULTURAL IMPACTS; LACKED MECHANISMS FOR PARTICIPATION AND INFORMATION DISCLOSURE MECHANISMS; AND CAUSED VIOLENCE, INSECURITY, AND SERIOUS IMPACTS ON SOCIAL COHESION. DESPITE THESE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, THE MICI REPORT DID NOT PROPOSE SUFFICIENT LASTING AND ESSENTIAL SOLUTIONS. AIDA AND ALLIES SUBMITTED COMMENTS TO THE MICI REPORT-HIGHLIGHTING THE WEAKNESS OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS AND THE IMPORTANCE OF STRENGTHENING THE FINAL REPORT TO GUARANTEE THE RIGHTS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND WOMEN-AND DEVELOPED AN ADVOCACY STRATEGY THAT INCLUDES MEETINGS WITH THE IDB BOARD. MEXICO AIDA CONTINUES TO REPRESENT MAYAN COMMUNITIES IN CAMPECHE AND THE YUCATAN IN AN INTERNATIONAL CASE BEFORE THE INTER-AMERICAN COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS DENOUNCING THE CULTIVATION OF GENETICALLY MODIFIED SOY AS DAMAGING TO THE LIVES, HEALTH AND INTEGRITY OF MAYAN PEOPLE, THEIR LIVELIHOOD AS BEEKEEPERS, AND THE HEALTH OF THE ENVIRONMENT ON WHICH THEY DEPEND. WE RECEIVED A FAVORABLE RULING IN A CASE FILED BY GREENPEACE MEXICO AGAINST REGULATIONS THAT HINDER THE PRODUCTION OF RENEWABLE ENERGY IN MEXICO. AIDA SUPPORTED THE CASE THROUGH AN AMICUS CURIAE, AND THE JUDGMENT INCLUDED SOME OF THE ARGUMENTS WE CONTRIBUTED VIA OUR BRIEF. PERU AIDA REPRESENTS RESIDENTS OF LA OROYA WHO SUFFER LEAD POISONING AND OTHER TOXIC IMPACTS CAUSED BY EMISSIONS FROM A MULTI-METAL SMELTER. WE DOCUMENTED ONGOING HEALTH HARMS AND PROVIDED UPDATED INFORMATION IN LITIGATION BEFORE THE INTER-AMERICAN COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS. AFTER MORE THAN 15 YEARS SINCE OUR INITIAL PETITION, NEXT YEAR THE INTERAMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS WILL FINALLY HEAR THIS CASE, AS WE SEEK TO ESTABLISH COMPREHENSIVE REPARATIONS FOR THE AFFECTED FAMILIES AND ENSURE THAT THESE TYPES OF ACTIONS DO NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. REGIONAL LEGAL AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT, NON-LITIGATION ENERGY AND CLIMATE CHANGE TO PREVENT NEW PROPOSED COAL INFRASTRUCTURE IN COLOMBIA, WE EXPANDED OUR EFFORTS TO BUILD A NATIONAL COAL STRATEGY. WE PROVIDED THE LEGAL INFORMATION AND ANALYSIS OF COAL MINING AND COAL-FIRED POWER PLANTS TO ENABLE RELEVANT LOCAL, REGIONAL, NATIONAL, AND INTERNATIONAL ACTORS TO UNDERSTAND THE COAL ECONOMY IN COLOMBIA AND THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK WITHIN WHICH TO ADVOCATE FOR A JUST TRANSITION. WE TRACKED AND ASSESSED THE LEGAL STATUS OF PROPOSED NEW COAL MINING AND COAL-FIRED POWER PLANTS-INCLUDING VERIFYING THESE OBTAIN THE NECESSARY PERMITS AND CARRY OUT THE REQUISITE CONSULTATION WITH POTENTIALLY IMPACTED COMMUNITIES AND RELEVANT STAKEHOLDERS- SO AS TO ENABLE RAPID RESPONSE VIA LITIGATION, ORGANIZING, ADVOCACY, AND/OR COMMUNICATIONS TO STOP THESE PROJECTS. TO SUPPORT A JUST ENERGY TRANSITION IN CHILE, WE PROMOTED AN AWARENESS CAMPAIGN SO THAT CHILEAN ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE ADVOCATING FOR ACCELERATED DECARBONIZATION DO NOT ACCEPT GAS AS A VIABLE TRANSITION FROM COAL IN CHILE'S ENERGY MATRIX. WE ALSO ANALYZED THE POSSIBILITY OF IMPLEMENTING A DIVESTMENT CAMPAIGN IN CHILE TO CUT FUNDING TO AES GENER, THE MAIN COMPANY BEHIND COAL-FIRED POWER PLANTS IN CHILE. IN MEXICO, WE ALSO BEGAN WORKING WITH ORGANIZATIONS FROM THE CITIZEN AIR QUALITY OBSERVATORY (OCCA) TO FORM A COALITION AND BUILD A STRATEGY TO STOP THE BURNING OF COAL AND FUEL OIL FOR ELECTRICITY PRODUCTION. DURING THIS INITIAL STAGE, OUR ROLE HAS BEEN TO PROPOSE AND LEAD THE ANALYSIS AND CONSOLIDATION OF THE JOINT STRATEGY, ENCOURAGING THE COORDINATION OF COLLABORATIVE WORK, INFORMATION SHARING, AND KNOWLEDGE BUILDING TO ADVANCE A JUST TRANSITION THROUGH A PARTICIPATORY, INCLUSIVE PROCESS THAT RESPECTS HUMAN RIGHTS. WE CONTINUED EFFORTS TO IMPEDE THE WIDESPREAD ADOPTION OF GAS AS A "BRIDGE FUEL AND BOLSTER RENEWABLE ENERGY. IN COLOMBIA WE PROMOTED THE CONSOLIDATION OF A COALITION OF ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS AND LEGAL CLINICS TO STOP THE ADVANCE OF FRACKING PILOT PROJECTS, AND WE SUCCESSFULLY DISCREDITED BIASED INDUSTRY EVIDENCE ABOUT THE RISKS AND IMPACTS OF FRACKING, WHICH HELPED MAINTAIN THE CURRENT JUDICIAL MORATORIUM. REGIONALLY, AIDA WORKED TO SUPPORT A JUST ENERGY TRANSITION IN LATIN AMERICA, HOSTING WORKSHOPS AND DIALOGUES CONNECTING DOZENS OF PEOPLE AND ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS LATIN AMERICA TO ADVANCE REGIONAL COLLABORATION CONNECTING THE HUMAN RIGHTS, CLIMATE, AND ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENTS. TOGETHER, WE DEVELOPED A COLLABORATIVE DEFINITION OF CLIMATE JUSTICE TO ENGAGE IN PARTICIPATORY PROCESSES WITH ALLIED ORGANIZATIONS TO EXPLORE AND ALIGN FUTURE MESSAGING. MARINE AND COASTAL WETLANDS PROTECTION AIDA ADVOCATES FOR IMPROVED NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL POLICIES TO END INDISCRIMINATE FISHING PRACTICES AND REDUCE OVERALL FISHING EFFORTS, ADOPT PRECAUTIONARY FISHING POLICIES, PROTECT COASTAL HABITAT, AND DEVELOP ECONOMIC INCENTIVES AND SYSTEMS THAT WILL FACILITATE THE TRANSITION TO SUSTAINABLE MARINE RESOURCE USE IN LATIN AMERICA. OVER THE PAST YEAR AIDA CONTINUED LEADING LATIN AMERICAN REPRESENTATION IN THE HIGH SEAS ALLIANCE, COLLABORATING WITH GOVERNMENTS TO NEGOTIATE AN AMBITIOUS TREATY WITHIN THE UNITED NATIONS THAT AIMS TO PROTECT KEY MIGRATORY SPECIES OF SHARKS, WHALES, TURTLES AND TUNA THAT CALL THESE WATERS HOME. THE HIGH SEAS ARE NOT ONLY ESSENTIAL TO LONG-TERM OCEAN HEALTH, BUT ACT AS CARBON SINKS TO HELP MITIGATE CLIMATE CHANGE. THIS YEAR, AIDA SIGNED AN AGREEMENT WITH THE CENTRAL AMERICAN ORGANIZATION OF THE FISHERIES AND AQUACULTURE SECTOR (OSPESCA) TO DEVELOP AN ECOSYSTEM BASED FISHERIES MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR CORAL REEFS IN CENTRAL AMERICA THAT AIMS TO MAINTAIN ECOSYSTEMS IN A HEALTHY, PRODUCTIVE, AND RESILIENT CONDITION, THUS IMPROVING HUMAN WELL-BEING, LIVELIHOODS, AND EQUITY. IN COSTA RICA, WE DEVELOPED A GUIDE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENTS (EIAS) THAT REPRESENTS A KEY TOOL FOR DEVELOPING THE NECESSARY REGULATIONS FOR EIAS IN CORAL REEF ECOSYSTEMS. AIDA ALSO PARTNERED WITH LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS AND ACTORS, CITING LEGAL ARGUMENTS IN CALLING FOR THE WITHDRAWAL OF THE MASSIVE CHINESE FISHING FLEET THAT WAS POSITIONED AND CONDUCTING MASSIVE SCALE EXTRACTION JUST OUTSIDE OF THE BORDER OF THE GALAPAGOS MARINE RESERVE IN ECUADOR.
FORM 990, PART 111, LINE 4A	ENVIRONMENTAL GOVERNANCE AND SCIENTIFIC SUPPORT AIDA PROVIDES TECHNICAL SUPPORT AND RESOURCES TO BUILD GOVERNMENT AND COMMUNITY UNDERSTANDING OF RISKS AND IMPACTS OF MINING ACTIVITIES AND OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS. THIS YEAR, WE HOSTED MULTIPLE SCIENTIFIC WEBINARS REGARDING THE IMPACTS OF METAL MINING, THE EXTRACTION OF FOSSIL FUELS, AND AIR QUALITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH IN THE AMERICAS. WE ALSO CONDUCTED EXTENSIVE TECHNICAL AND SCIENTIFIC ANALYSES ON THE LICENSING AND REGULATORY PROCESSES IN THE BELO SUN MINING CASE, AFFECTING A KEY AREA OF THE AMAZON IN BRAZIL. THESE ANALYSES PROVIDED THE BASIS FOR THE LEGAL ARGUMENTS OF AIDA AND PARTICIPATING COALITIONS. ADDITIONALLY, WE ORGANIZED A SERIES OF VIRTUAL ACTIVITIES (SEMINARS AND WORKSHOPS) ON GOLD MINING IN THE ANDEAN-AMAZON BASIN TO PROMOTE COLLABORATION AND THE EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION TO PREVENT, MITIGATE, AND REMEDY THE NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF ALLUVIAL MINING IN THE REGION. PARTICIPANTS FROM 17 COUNTRIES ACROSS LATIN AMERICA, EUROPE, AND THE US, INCLUDED FUNDERS, MEMBERS OF THE AFFECTED COMMUNITIES, CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATION REPRESENTATIVES, KEY AUTHORITIES, AND ACADEMICS. THE ONLINE ACTIVITIES STARTED WITH A SEMINAR SERIES HELD IN DECEMBER AND THEN CONTINUED FOR SIX DAYS SPREAD OVER TWO WEEKS FROM JANUARY 25-FEBRUARY 5. WE ORGANIZED AND FACILITATED A COMBINATION OF HIGH-QUALITY PUBLIC WEBINARS AND CLOSED WORKSHOPS WHERE INVITED STAKEHOLDERS EXCHANGED KNOWLEDGE, IDEAS, AND LESSONS LEARNED, PROPOSING SOLUTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FUTURE EFFORTS. THE FOUR PUBLIC WEBINARS HAD A COMBINED 2,171 REGISTRATIONS AND 587 PARTICIPANTS, AND THE CLOSED WORKSHOPS HAD 217 PARTICIPANTS (NOT INCLUDING AIDA TEAM MEMBERS). IN FEBRUARY 2021 WE PUBLISHED THE REPORT "GLOBAL BEST PRACTICES FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENTS: A GUIDE FOR PUBLIC POLICIES IN LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN", PRESENTING A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF BEST PRACTICES IN PREPARING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENTS. IT COMPLEMENTS OUR EARLIER EFFORTS IN WHICH WE PROVIDED SPANISH LANGUAGE TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR THE CONTENT OF MINING PROJECTS' ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENTS (EIAS). AVAILABLE IN BOTH SPANISH AND PORTUGUESE, THE REPORT SUMMARIZES AND ANALYZES INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL STANDARDS ON EIAS, IDENTIFYING THE BEST PRACTICES THAT LATIN AMERICAN STATES SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTING. IN PARTICULAR, THE REPORT HIGHLIGHTS THE FACT THAT EIAS SHOULD CONSIDER THE ADDITIONAL IMPACTS THAT ACTIVITIES AND PROJECTS MAY HAVE BOTH ON AND DUE TO CLIMATE CHANGE. TO FURTHER DISSEMINATE OUR FINDINGS, DURING THE FIRST TRIMESTER OF 2021 WE ORGANIZED THREE WEBINARS ON EIAS, INVITING BROAD CONSTITUENCIES FROM PEOPLE WORKING WITH COMMUNITIES, ORGANIZATIONS, AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN THE REGION, TO HELP BUILD CAPACITY AROUND EIAS. THE WEBINARS SERVED TO WIDELY DISSEMINATE THE RESULTS OF THE GLOBAL BEST PRACTICES REPORT, RAISE AWARENESS OF GLOBAL GOOD PRACTICES IN EIAS, AND ENCOURAGE GOVERNMENTS TO CREATE AND STRENGTHEN SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS FOR ENERGY AND INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS, WITH EMPHASIS ON THE INCLUSION OF CLIMATE CHANGE ELEMENTS. WE HAD 1,167 TOTAL REGISTERED PARTICIPANTS WHO ALL RECEIVED THE RECORDED WEBINARS, AND 426 LIVE ATTENDEES. IN BRAZIL, IN PARALLEL WITH OUR SUPPORT FOR COMMUNITIES IN THE BELO MONTE CASE, WE SHARED AN ALERT WITH OUR ALLIES ABOUT THE MISLEADING INFORMATION THAT BELO SUN DISCLOSED TO INVESTORS REGARDING THE PROPOSED GOLD MINING PROJECT IN THE BRAZILIAN AMAZON. THE ALERT WAS PICKED UP BY VARIOUS NEWS OUTLETS AND HIGHLIGHTED HOW THE MINING COMPANY FAILED TO DISCLOSE INFORMATION, "RELYING ON INVESTORS' LACK OF KNOWLEDGE CONCERNING LICENSING LEGISLATION IN BRAZIL." LEGAL CAPACITY BUILDING AIDA ORGANIZES AND PARTICIPATES IN WORKSHOPS, CONFERENCES AND EVENTS AROUND THE WORLD TO HELP EDUCATE ENVIRONMENTAL AND HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENDERS AND LAWYERS REGARDING NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL AND HUMAN RIGHTS LAW AND THE LINKS BETWEEN CLIMATE CHANGE, ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION AND HUMAN HEALTH. WE HAVE CONTINUED STRENGTHENING CLIMATE LITIGATION CAPACITIES IN LATIN AMERICA THROUGH OUR COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE OF CLIMATE LITIGATORS ACROSS THE REGION AND WE DESIGNED A DYNAMIC CLIMATE LITIGATION PLATFORM TO SHARE MATERIALS IN SPANISH WITH ALLIES WORKING ACROSS LATIN AMERICA. TO MAKE THE PROCESS TRULY INCLUSIVE AND PARTICIPATORY, WE CREATED AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE OF FIVE MEMBERS REPRESENTING ORGANIZATIONS IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES ACROSS THE REGION. THIS COMMITTEE HELPS MAKE DECISIONS REGARDING THE COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE AND THE CLIMATE LITIGATION PLATFORM. AFTER THE HISTORIC DECISION BY THE DISTRICT COURT IN THE HAGUE AGAINST SHELL, WE ORGANIZED A CONVERSATION WITH ONE OF THE CASE'S PARTICIPANTS TO ENRICH THE COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE WITH EXPERIENCE FROM OUR PEERS LITIGATING OUTSIDE OF LATIN AMERICA. THE EVENT GENERATED INTEREST AMONG MEMBERS AND INSPIRED US TO CONTINUE MAKING INTERNATIONAL CONNECTIONS AROUND CLIMATE LITIGATION STRATEGIES. AS A RESULT, WE ORGANIZED A SERIES OF CONVERSATIONS ON SIX INTERNATIONAL CLIMATE LITIGATION CASES, WHICH WILL BE USED AS A BASE FOR THE DESIGN OF POSSIBLE REGIONAL CLIMATE CASES FROM AIDA AND/OR THE COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE.
