In 2025, the Tracking Tool includes a total of 95 lawsuits initiated around the world since 2009, brought by Indigenous Peoples, other frontline communities, HRDs, and workers globally on the basis of protecting their human rights in the context of the energy transition, across the renewable energy value chain.
