20 ways to protect the planet in 2017

ClientEarth identifies key legal and policy goals for 2017, including ending fossil fuel subsidies in the EU, implementing a new Clean Air Act in the UK, and pricing climate risk into financial markets.

• ClientEarth advocates for a transition to clean energy by calling for the European Commission to terminate subsidies for fossil fuel companies and for governments and investors to redirect finance away from "dirty energy".
• The organization seeks stronger air quality measures in the UK, specifically requesting a new Clean Air Act and the establishment of a national network of clean air zones to restrict the most polluting vehicles from urban areas.
• Regarding financial markets, ClientEarth argues that businesses and investors must price climate risk into their operations and comply with obligations to disclose climate-related risks.
• The document emphasizes the need for legal protections for biodiversity, including a guarantee from the UK government to maintain wildlife laws and the prevention of increased logging in Poland's Bialowieza Forest.
