The UCLA Emmett Institute works to solve urgent environmental challenges and address the global climate crisis through applied research, education, and service to our community. The Emmett Institute is home to 10 core faculty members as well as a team of law fellows and staff who manage a wide-ranging slate of projects that address urgent environmental challenges and provide hands-on training to future lawyers. We draw on the resources of the country's premier public university to develop solutions to complex problems like climate overshoot, air quality, extreme heat, drought, coastal erosion, deforestation, and decreased biodiversity. We write about many of these issues and policy solutions at the Legal Planet blog (https://legal-planet.org/).
