Grants to this Grantee
for the Climate Judiciary Project
A grant to the Environmental Law Institute will support the Climate Judiciary Project, which was launched in 2019. The goal of the project is to increase judges’ understanding of the objective facts of climate science as it is understood by the expert scientific community, and how the lack of information would result in serious consequences for human and natural systems. This will lead to better-informed decisions and ultimately build a body of law supporting climate action.
