CONSERVATION LAW FOUNDATION INC

Clean energy & climate change: clf is tackling the root causes of the climate crisis and pushing clean energy solutions at the state and regional levels. We must collectively cut climate-damaging emissions to net-zero by 2050 and transition our economy to one run on clean-renewable energy - while ensuring that no new englander is left behind. Today, clf is fighting for laws that will end our region's addiction to fossil fuels for good; pushing for economy-wide change through policies and projects that boost low-cost local clean energy, save families and businesses money, and create good-paying jobs; stopping unnecessary new gas infrastructure and pushing for concrete utility-scale plans to phase gas out before it can sink our region's climate goals; and making sure our communities can bounce back from the climate fallout we can no longer avoid - so new englanders can not only survive but thrive in a changing climate.

Other programs include the following:ocean conservation: the ocean plays an integral role in new englanders' lives, our economy, and our communities. However, pollution, overfishing, habitat loss, and climate change threaten its health and our future. Clf has safeguarded new england's ocean for decades - from blocking oil and gas drilling on georges bank, to curbing overfishing, to pioneering smart ocean planning across the region. We fight for a clean, healthy, and productive ocean to ensure that endangered right whales can recover from the brink of extinction, our waters can once again abound with cod and our fisheries flourish, and our most fragile habitats are protected to ensure our waters remain healthy and vibrant for generations to come.environmental justice: for more than 50 years, clf has fought to create healthy communities for people across new england. But the reality is that pollution, climate impacts, and other environmental burdens fall harder on limited english proficient residents and low-income and communities of color than predominantly white neighborhoods. That's why environmental justice is a thread that runs through everything that we do - from stemming childhood lead poisoning to pushing for more accessible public transit, shutting down dirty power plants and incinerators, to partnering with frontline communities on issues that affect their health and quality of life.
