Mission Statement
The Environmental Law Alliance Worldwide (ELAW) helps communities speak out for clean air, clean water, and a healthy planet. We are a global alliance of attorneys and scientists collaborating across borders to build a sustainable and just future.
About This Cause
Public interest lawyers from 10 countries founded ELAW in 1989. These lawyers were working together at a public interest law conference at the University of Oregon School of Law. As they talked, they discovered that communities in their countries were facing similar environmental challenges. They realized if they could share strategies and legal and scientific information across borders, they could protect communities and the environment more effectively. Today, more than 300 public interest advocates from 80 countries work together through ELAW. ELAW collaborates with courageous grassroots advocates around the world. ELAW has brought more than 190 environmental advocates from around the world to the United States as ELAW Fellows, celebrated with many ELAW partners who won the prestigious Goldman Environmental Prize, and provided legal and scientific support on thousands of environmental cases around the world. See some of our victories at: elaw.org/celebrating-victories-fight-environmental-justice ELAW advocates, working in their home countries, know best how to protect the environment. By giving our partners the legal and scientific support they need, ELAW helps challenge environmental abuses and builds a worldwide corps of skilled, committed advocates working to protect ecosystems and communities for generations to come.
