For too long, the challenge of shifting our economy to one that does no harm to people and the environment has been deemed too big, too costly to take on. But we can’t wait any longer. Climate change can’t be slowed by shutting down polluters and pushing for new environmental protections alone. We must transform the way we do business and make investing in the environment as lucrative as plundering it. Fortunately, a wide range of creative, socially conscious businesses and investors are already working to build New England’s green economy. CLF Ventures supports those investments and deepen their impact, providing a bridge between the public and private sectors and advancing innovative, market-based solutions that benefit our environment and society, and boost economic opportunity across the region. By working to bring market forces into alignment with social and environmental values, we’re helping to bring about lasting social, environmental, and economic success Istock YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! $25 $50 $75 $100 Other DONATE JOIN THE FIGHT About Our Team How You Can Help Employment & Internships Privacy & Commenting Policies Updates Newsroom Action Center Conservation Matters Publications Contact CLF 617.350.0990 e-info@clf.org Press Inquiries: joneill@clf.org 62 Summer St Boston, MA 02110 Facebook Twitter Linkedin Youtube RSS Copyright ©2021 Conservation Law Foundation
