Description

Environmental laws need to be enforceable and enforced. A new breed of environmental lawyers has emerged, providing fresh rules for legislatures, ensuring they are implemented, and keeping us informed.

These public interest law specialists tackle big business to ensure that money flows into cultural change, as it is the grammar of business just like science is the grammar of nature. Their work takes governments to court, with a notable success rate, and their client is the planet itself.

Through Client Earth, we follow how citizens are using public interest law to protect their world, from Poland to Ghana, Alaska to China. The book highlights the impact of these efforts and the role that foundations and philanthropists play in supporting this vital work.
