Mission Statement
The Climate Science Legal Defense Fund (CSLDF) protects the scientific endeavor by putting its legal expertise to work for scientists who are threatened or silenced due to their findings or fields of study. Our work preserves and expands scientists’ rights and strengthens the legal protections that promote scientific integrity.
About This Cause
We’ve fought for the scientific endeavor since 2011. Our initiatives ensure that scientists can conduct, publish, and discuss their research and advocate for science without the threat of political harassment or legal intimidation. Our goals are simple: We want scientists to be able to focus on understanding climate change, threats to public health, and other critical human and environmental issues — and we want to ensure trust in science. We provide a range of free legal services to scientists, including educating researchers about their legal rights and responsibilities. Our initiatives include: - Offering legal aid clinics at scientific conferences - Giving educational workshops and webinars to the research community - Publishing free resources for scientists and attorneys In recent years, we’ve documented federal and state attacks on science and assisted numerous researchers facing government censorship attempts. Today, in addition to our ongoing initiatives, we’re focused on restoring scientific integrity and guarding against the return of anti-science ideologies. During the past decade, we’ve assisted hundreds of scientists and educated thousands more about their rights. We remain the only organization in the United States that provides free legal advice and education to academic and government researchers targeted by groups trying to undermine science and erode scientific integrity.
