Achievements in 2023
Annual report
TNI achieved important progress in 2023 toward the equitable, democratic and peaceful world we envision. At the policy level, we celebrated more nails driven into the coffin of one of the biggest barriers to climate action – the Energy Charter Treaty and its investor protections; and put a critique of green colonialism squarely on the public agenda. We continued to publish cutting-edge analyses to challenge the growing menace of digital capitalism, and advocated for ending the moratorium on taxation of transnational e-commerce. In response to the juggernaut of militarism, with a particular focus on the endless war in Ukraine and the Israeli decimation of Palestine, we offered vitally important counter-narratives helping to shift public opinion more in favour of peace. We drew the connections between securitisation and a number of key issues, from drug policy to migration to climate change, and proposed more just and equitable approaches. With our proposals and counter-narratives, we reached impressive audiences around the world.
