The ClientEarth Summit 2026: Law and Justice for a Better Future
24 to 26 March 2026 | Free global virtual summit
Justice doesn’t just happen by accident. It’s fought for, defended, and made real through action.
The ClientEarth Summit returns in 2026 for three days of thought-provoking conversations on the role the law plays in shaping our future – and how people worldwide are using it to decide how the coming years will look.
You’ll hear from ClientEarth, and our inspiring partners, peers, communities, and global experts about how they put the law into practice, leveraging its power to demand accountability.
Our summit’s convenors will take you from community-owned forests in Gabon to self-made Marine Protected Areas in Türkiye; from boardrooms in America to courtrooms in Belgium. Sit down with the people who are using the law to protect what we love.
In a world that’s changing daily, often unpredictably and beyond imagination, the rule of law and the courts remain central to protecting our rights and our planet – and ensuring power is not held by a limited few.
From AI to chemicals, international climate law to our shared ocean: join us for the discussion and have your say.

I knew I wanted to hitch my wagon to the most impactful environmental organization I could find – and ClientEarth’s unique efforts made me feel confident that they were that group. I like that they are keeping corporations honest, playing by the rules they set out for themselves.
Join the Fight for a Livable Planet
Your support can fund the legal precedents that will hold corporations accountable for environmental damage. A $100,000 gift supports the scoping of a new case launch. A $50,000 gift supports a fellowship for a law school graduate, providing a learning experience for the next generation of lawyers protecting the planet. $25,000 could fund discovery research exposing corporate schemes. Even $5,000 helps build the war chest needed to take on billion-dollar defendants. When ClientEarth wins, they create pathways for hundreds of similar cases – transforming single victories into systemic change that makes environmental responsibility profitable and environmental destruction expensive.
