Attorneys general from 23 states said in an Aug. 26 letter that the Environmental Law Institute (ELI) had provided training through its Climate Judiciary Project to more than 2,000 U.S. judges who may rule on climate lawsuits, and that this program “is designed to sway judges” in support of plaintiffs and against the energy industry.
The attorneys general stated that Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) grants accounted for 13 percent of the ELI’s revenue in 2024 and called on EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin to stop funding this organization.
