And A Healthy Climate

Earthjustice’s courtroom victories get the world closer to preventing catastrophic climate change every day. We use the courts to cut carbon emissions and force a shift from dirty to clean energy to stabilize our climate and build a thriving, sustainable world.

Earthjustice’s courtroom victories get the world closer to preventing catastrophic climate change. We use the courts to cut carbon emissions and to force a shift from dirty to clean energy. The time is now to stabilize our climate and build a thriving, sustainable world.

Strategy

Climate change threatens the world as we know it—and the chief culprit is fossil fuel burning. To avert ecological disaster, Earthjustice is pushing for a shift from dirty to clean energy to stabilize our climate and build a thriving sustainable world.

Clean Energy

Natural forces can provide enough clean power to meet our needs, and American innovation can lead the world in building a vibrant, clean energy economy. Earthjustice is helping to pave the way for a clean energy transformation by eliminating dirty energy obstacles and creating incentives to harness wind and solar. Learn more.

Climate Change

Earthjustice has long worked to promote ecologically rich, resilient refuges that give wildlife the freedom to roam—and swim. With unchecked climate change already profoundly altering wild places on land and at sea, we’re ramping up efforts to ensure that ecosystems can withstand the climate changes that are already occurring.

Coal

In the race against climate change, one thing is clear: we have to quit coal. Earthjustice’s effort to keep coal in the ground targets every stage of coal’s life cycle: mining, transporting, burning, waste disposal and exporting. We’re helping clean energy compete on a level playing field in the marketplace by forcing the coal industry to finally pay for the costs of its product’s pollution. Learn more.

Oil and Gas Drilling

Industrial oil and gas drilling is expanding quickly across the country, aided by the proliferation of the controversial and under-regulated drilling technique known as fracking. Earthjustice is building a nationwide movement against the oil and gas drilling explosion by fighting for the right of local communities to keep dirty energy out of their lives and open their doors to a clean energy future.
