Providing legal support for the conservation community, Earthjustice has been instrumental in defending legal challenges to the Environmental Protection Agency’s authority to regulate local air pollution and greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act. In 2012 and 2013, Earthjustice will continue its advocacy work, along with other climate, public health, and conservation priorities.
