Our work

We all rely on a safe and healthy planet, but climate change and the widespread destruction of nature are weakening the web of life we depend on for survival. Extreme weather events are devastating human communities. Rising ocean temperatures are killing coral reefs. Wildfires are destroying forests. As these last wild places disappear, so does the wildlife that depends on them.

We must act now to ensure a livable planet for all life on Earth.

Our approach

At ClientEarth, we are committed to changing the destructive environmental behavior of the biggest companies and banks in order to ensure a future with clean air, clean water and a safe climate for everyone. We use our unique expertise to hold corporations directly accountable for their devastating impact on our planet.

Holding corporations accountable for ‘zombie wells’

Fossil fuel companies have abandoned millions of polluting toxic wells on Americans’ properties in a widespread practice that worsens climate change, harms landowners, pollutes communities, and costs the taxpayer. In Colorado, we’re representing one group of property owners in a lawsuit asking the court to finally hold oil and gas companies accountable.
