    Organization Mission

    Pacific Environment protects people, wildlife, and ecosystems by funding and training grassroots activists, strengthening communities, and advancing strong, progressive international policies. We build people power to fight climate change, defend the oceans, promote open and inclusive societies, and ensure a just transition to a clean energy future for all.
    We tap the creativity of local leaders to produce community-based solutions. We nurture the growth of these leaders, connect them to each other, increase their skills, collaborate with them on campaigns, and fund their activities. As a result, these leaders and their organizations mobilize citizens in their communities to gain access to information, secure citizen participation in government decisions, and enforce corporate violations in court. We also bring grassroots concerns, and whenever possible grassroots leaders, to national and international venues to advocate policy solutions that reflect community needs.
