Environmental Justice Australia

Environmental Justice Australia is a public interest legal organisation that uses the law to protect nature, communities and the climate. Its lawyers work with people and community groups to challenge harmful projects, hold governments and companies to account, and push for stronger environmental laws and policy. The organisation combines litigation, legal advocacy and community partnerships, with a focus on issues where legal action can help drive broader systemic change.

Groundswell Grants

2021

40000

This Groundswell grant supported Environmental Justice Australia to use strategic legal action to challenge fossil fuel expansion and strengthen how Australian law responds to climate harm. The funding helped advance major cases including the Living Wonders intervention, which pushed the federal Environment Minister to reconsider the climate impacts of 18 proposed coal and gas projects. The work also supported litigation, advocacy and partnerships with affected communities, helping build stronger legal tools for holding governments and companies accountable for climate damage.

Wherever we are in this country, we are on Country.

We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first inhabitants and Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters where we live, learn and work. We pay our respects to Elders past and present, and to the cultures, knowledge and stories they carry. That knowledge comes from tens of thousands of years of living with, caring for and protecting Country. It is why, for us, climate action cannot be separated from Country or from First Nations leadership, and why we are committed to listening, learning and backing First Nations-led climate action.
