ClientEarth

ClientEarth is a non-profit organization that uses the law to create systemic change that protects the Earth for—and with—its inhabitants. ClientEarth tackles climate change, protecting nature and stopping pollution with partners and citizens around the globe.

ClientEarth’s team of lawyers, scientists and policy experts have used their environmental expertise to achieve powerful change, from winning court cases over illegal air pollution, protecting Indigenous Rights, promoting climate justice, building capacity for people to use the law to protect the places they live from environmental degradation to writing laws to ensure that there will still be fish in the sea in the future.

Our donations to ClientEarth have directly supported the establishment of ClientEarth’s US operation.

Their focus in the US is climate finance. Using their legal expertise, they are striving to bring businesses in line with the Paris Agreement, to speed the shift of corporate investments and financial flows away from fossil fuels. They work in partnership with other NGOs and fill a unique space in the US non-profit community, by addressing climate change through the lens of corporate, financial, and securities law and litigation.

To do this, they focus on three key areas:

Greenwashing: establishing accountability for misleading claims around gas and carbon offsets
Shifting investments of major dual-registered (US/Asia) corporations away from fossil fuels
Using corporate law to ensure companies are properly assessing and reporting climate risk
