About Milieudefensie

Milieudefensie empowers people to work together to bring about the social change needed to ensure a good and healthy life on Earth, in harmony with one another and with nature, for ourselves and for future generations. Our vision: climate justice.

Milieudefensie has been working toward a sustainable and just world for over 50 years. In the Netherlands, nearly 200,000 change-makers actively contribute to our campaigns in all sorts of ways. More than 100,000 members and donors, along with several major endowment funds, make our campaigns financially possible. This is what we’re fighting for right now: ensuring that major polluters contribute to solving the climate crisis. We can only achieve this if we apply pressure together with many change-makers. In the coming years, we aim to engage and mobilize 600,000 change-makers. We are considered the most influential climate and environmental organization in the Netherlands. From our office in Amsterdam, more than 150 professionals contribute to this effort every day.
