Our work
Clean air, clean water, wide open spaces and a stable climate: we’re working to protect it all. Find out more about what we’re working on, and how you can help.
Environment California works for clean air, clean water, clean energy, wildlife and open spaces, and a livable climate. Our members across the state put grassroots support behind our research and advocacy.
We envision a greener California: one that protects more places where nature can thrive, and offers us and our children a greater opportunity to live healthier, more enriching lives. Through our research, public education, advocacy, litigation and action, we advance policies and practices that put our state and our country on a better path.
Each of our campaigns shares a common approach, which includes:
Our approach delivers results, including growth in solar and wind power, cleaner air, reduced global warming pollution, and cuts in single-use plastics. We study which policies work, how they can be improved, and what it takes to build public support for them. And we’re open to new ideas that could work even better.

Throughout all of our work, we endeavor to unite people from across the political spectrum on behalf of a cleaner, greener state.
Our advocates build coalitions that include business owners, doctors and nurses, religious leaders, first-responders and community activists. Our organizers and canvassers engage members and activists across the state. Our advocates in Washington, D.C., work with members of Congress from both parties.
The Environment California team of researchers, advocates, attorneys and organizers takes pride in our strategic thinking, efficient planning and passionate persistence. Meet the team.
Environment California is part of The Public Interest Network, which operates and supports organizations committed to a shared vision of a better world and a strategic approach to social change.
We invite everyone to join us.
On each campaign, our staff chart a path to victory, maintain a steady hand on the tiller, and navigate the inevitable rocky shoals. The action and support of our members provide the wind at our backs that carries us forward. Without people like you, we can’t win. With people like you, we can’t lose.
Join us, and together, step by step, we’ll make the world we share a cleaner, greener, healthier one.
When you give, you can help protect the places that all of us love and promote core environmental values, such as clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, and clean energy to power our lives.
