'ELF has remained a major player in ensuring that communities know they have a fundamental human right to a healthy environment and feel empowered to protect this right, not only for their generation but future generations to come'.
Anita Roddick OBE
Founder, The Body Shop
The Environmental Law Foundation supports the fundamental and urgent requirement that everyone, our children and grandchildren, should live without harm to other living things nor damage to the ecological balance of the planet. The Foundation’s contribution to this belief is in the empowerment of communities by providing a cross-disciplinary means of support and action by helping to ensure that everyone has a voice in protecting their environment. Its purpose is to provide access to environmental justice for all by pursuing its key aims:
- To ensure that communities and individuals are aware of their environmental rights and the means to enforce those rights.
- To empower local people and communities in protecting and improving their quality of life.
- To increase awareness of how the law may be used to meet environmental problems.
- To share and develop expertise in environmental law with particular emphasis on sustainability and human rights.
- To improve the law to help secure sustainable development.
