ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Center for International Environmental Law

Do you know about the environment? It's everything around us like trees, air, water, and animals. Sometimes, people do things that are not good for the environment like polluting the air or water. This can be bad for plants and animals and even for people like us.

The Center for International Environmental Law (or CIEL for short) is a group of grown-ups who want to protect the environment. They work with lawyers all over the world to make sure that people and companies follow the rules for protecting the environment.

CIEL wants to make sure that the air we breathe is clean, the water we drink is safe, and the animals and plants are not harmed. They also want to make sure that the rules that help protect the environment are fair for everyone and don't let some people or companies do bad things to the environment.

Basically, CIEL is like a superhero group that helps protect the environment and make sure everyone plays by the rules to keep it healthy and safe for everyone!
