The Environmental Defenders Office apply legal expertise to defend Australia’s wildlife, people and places. They have a solid track record for taking landmark environmental cases to the courts, and winning.

 

In 2021, representing survivors of the 2019-2020 bushfires, EDO successfully prosecuted the case that the NSW Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has a duty of care to take serious action on emissions and climate change.

 

It was the first time that an Australian Court had ordered any government to take meaningful action on climate change.

 

As an accredited community legal service, in addition to public interest litigation, their work also includes designing and advocating for stronger state and federal environmental laws; providing legal and scientific advice, workshops, factsheets and other legal tools to help Australians participate in the legal process.

 

We are very proud to be able to support EDO by pledging 1% of Airteam’s annual profits to help fund their important work.
