What we do

A future in which people and planet thrive together isn't just possible: it's essential 1m species on the planet are currently threatened with extinction. 20m people a year are forced from their homes because of climate change. 90% of the world's forests have already disappeared. 7.25m tonnes of plastic ends up in the ocean every year. We're working to protect life on Earth. Our planet is changing. Rising carbon emissions are accelerating climate change. Our forests are disappearing. The air we breathe and the oceans we depend on are polluted. Vulnerable plants and animals are under threat. To meet these global challenges we use the power of the law to drive transformational change – creating, strengthening and enforcing the right rules to support a healthy planet where nature and people can thrive together. Breaking new legal ground Aligning planet and profit Energy, transport and materials Food, ocean and land use The world is changing dramatically, and the crucial years ahead will determine the health of the planet our children will inherit.
