ClientEarth is a non-profit organisation of activist lawyers, working around the globe to create pragmatic solutions to key environmental challenges. Using the power of the law, they develop legal strategies and tools to address major environmental issues.

They work across the environmental agenda, looking at issues like energy, forests, oceans, environmental justice, biodiversity and human health.

Their team of expert problem solvers fuse law, science, economics and politics to develop legal strategies which address big environmental challenges. They operate by monitoring existing laws, developing policy, lobbying for effective legislation and, where necessary, taking governments to court.

Their legal staff, drawn from law firms from many continents, are intent on redressing the imbalance between the green movement and lobbyists for big business. Corporate interests are well represented by lobbyists and lawyers, while pro-environment legal expertise has been scarce.
