In this report Amnesty International reveals how the Ecuadorian state is failing in its duty to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by allowing gas flaring operations in the Amazon. Even though a 2021 court ruling, promoted by nine Amazonian girls and climate activists, with the support of the Union of People Affected by Texaco Operations, ordered the elimination of flares, the Ecuadorian State continues to allow this pernicious practice of the fossil fuel industry. An activity that is also directly linked to global warming and the emission of super pollutants such as methane, which endangers the exercise and guarantee of human rights today and in the future.
