The Northeast Regional Office is dedicated to protecting public health and ensuring a healthy environment for all in the Northeast; combatting the climate crisis; and securing a swift and equitable transition to zero emissions, 100% clean energy.

Earthjustice is the nation&rsquo;s leading environmental law organization. Wielding the power of law, Earthjustice partners with our clients to take on the most critical fights of our time &mdash; fights to protect the incredible biodiversity and wild places of the planet; to avert climate disaster by transitioning society away from fossil fuels toward clean energy; to safeguard the right of all people to a healthy environment.
