About FILE 

The Foundation for International Law for the Environment (FILE) was set up in 2018 to be the major philanthropic regrantor scaling up legal action globally to tackle the climate and biodiversity crisis. 

We work as movement enablers, campaign strategists, and impact funders, using the law in pursuit of three interconnected system-level goals: 

• Reducing net greenhouse gas emissions to protect the climate 

• Safeguarding nature 

• Delivering climate and environmental justice 

We pursue these goals by supporting legal action, growing the strength of the climate and biodiversity legal movement globally and enabling people and movements to use legal action to shift narratives. 

As movement enablers, campaign strategists, and impact funders, we do not bring litigation or other legal action ourselves. As a regrantor, FILE is not an endowed foundation, but rather we engage in fundraising to secure resources to support our partners globally.

Working for FILE 

FILE is a collaborative community of individuals who share a passion for climate, nature, and justice. We bring together knowledge and experience to support our mission. 

Our people are empowered to lead their work both individually and as part of a wider team in order to make impactful change. As a relatively young organisation with the ambitious mission to change global systems, our roles are ideally suited to those who are highly strategic, flexible and adaptable, and open to growing in line with the Foundation.
