ClientEarth

ClientEarth is an environmental law NGO, that uses strategic litigation to address pressing environmental challenges including climate change, nature loss, and pollution. Their work involves advocacy, litigation, and research to hold governments and corporations accountable and promote environmental justice. 

ERF’s grant supports ClientEarth in its coordinated legal action to ensure habitats and species are restored and protected, including in the implementation and subsequent enforcement of the EU Nature Restoration Law. This law aims to reverse biodiversity loss by requiring EU member states to restore degraded ecosystems across 1.6 million square miles of land and sea – including oceans, rivers, wetlands, grasslands, and forests – helping to tackle climate change, support wildlife, and strengthen environmental resilience. Additionally, ClientEarth is working to implement the EU Biodiversity Strategy. Adopted in 2020, the EU Biodiversity Strategy involves specific commitments and targets to protect nature and reverse the degradation of ecosystems in Europe by 2030.
