Climate action, nature protection and environmental justice | ClientEarth

We are facing a climate crisis that threatens the future of life on Earth. Extreme weather, food scarcity, pollution, rising poverty and habitat loss are already affecting millions worldwide.
Many countries and companies still aren’t doing enough, but we have the power to fix it. We're using the law to create, strengthen and enforce our rights, tackling the climate crisis and driving systemic change that protects our people and planet.
We need urgent action to tackle the climate emergency, but if we want to change how people and corporations behave, we must change the financial and economic systems that influence and incentivise their behaviours. The global economy and financial flows sit at the heart of the change we need to see in the world. We need to shift the economic incentives and flow of finance to unlock necessary change and new opportunities.
Our survival depends on our incredible natural world. Our vision is a world with thriving ecosystems, where nature flourishes in the oceans and on land.
To reduce our global greenhouse gas emissions, we need to move away from fossil fuels towards climate-neutral sources of energy whilst minimising the negative impacts on nature and people.
Fighting chemical pollution
Legal systems, the rule of law and justice are at the centre of ClientEarth’s work. We work to strengthen the entire system – from how laws are written, to how they are applied, interpreted and enforced by courts and regulators. We support the people and communities most affected by environmental degradation to defend their rights and we make sure people, prosecutors and civil society organisations can participate in environmental decision-making, and go to court when laws are broken.
