Each year on April 22, we join people around the world in celebrating Earth Day—a time to reflect on the importance of protecting our planet for future generations. Earth Day is not only a call to environmental action, but also an opportunity to explore the science, history, and policy that shape our relationship with the natural world.
If you’re conducting legal research related to climate change, sustainability, or environmental justice, we invite you to explore our Treatises by Topic research guides. These treatises offer in-depth explanations of the general principles and specific areas of environmental law, along with extensive commentary on statutes, regulations, cases, and other primary materials. They’re excellent resources for background research and for locating authoritative legal citations.
We also encourage you to visit EarthDay.org to learn more about this year’s theme: “Our Power, Our Planet.”
Happy Earth Day—today and every day
