Content of Project
ClientEarth seeks to create, strengthen, and enforce the right rules to support a healthy planet where nature and people thrive together, and to drive real-world progress that transforms critical, interconnected systems for positive impact.
To achieve their vision, they prioritise their efforts to leverage high impact results against four key strategic focus areas.
1. Breaking new legal ground
2. Aligning planet and profit
3. Energy, transport and materials
4. Food, ocean and land use
Methods
ClientEarth use the power of the law to bring about systemic change that protects all life on Earth. To achieve the right rules for real world progress, they work across the full lifecycle of the law:
1. They strengthen the law to change behaviours and practices and advocate for the right legislation and policy
2. They use strategic litigation to enforce laws, set precedents, raise awareness and change government and corporate mindsets
3. They build the field by training lawyers, prosecutors and judges to use environmental law with impact
4. They collaborate by working closely with partners, other NGOs and Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs) across the globe
Expected Outcomes
The overarching outcome ClientEarth expect is to create a regulatory landscape around the world in which it is more appealing for governments and companies (and by consequence, for individuals, too) to make decisions that benefit the long-term health of people and the planet. This means increasing the legal risk of harmful decisions (expanding fossil fuels, plastic production, industrial food production and high-emitting transport), and reducing legal barriers or introducing policy incentives to take sustainable action.
The funding from the Tang Grant will help ClientEarth to scope and bring legal actions that will contribute to building a regulatory landscape that enables the change they need for a thriving future.
