The Climate Law Accelerator (CLX) is an initiative of the Earth Rights Research and Action (TERRA) Program at New York University School of Law.
CLX is a global collaborative hub for research, advocacy, and strategic legal action on the climate emergency. Working with scholars, impacted communities, scientists, and legal practitioners from around the world, CLX initiates and supports the legal strategies, tools, and ideas needed to secure urgent and ambitious climate action.
CLX helps fill gaps in existing practice, connects practitioners and experts in different fields (from climate science and strategic communications to law and public policy), and spearheads and supports climate legal action and other forms of advocacy.
