Since 2011, CSLDF has been working to ensure that scientists can conduct, publish, and discuss their research without fear of political harassment, censorship, or legal intimidation. They provide free legal aid and resources to researchers, educate the scientific community about their rights and responsibilities, and advocate for stronger legal protections to promote scientific integrity. CSLDF offers a range of resources and initiatives, including a Climate Litigation Toolkit, Open Records Guides, and the Silencing Science Tracker, which documents government efforts to restrict, censor, undermine, and misrepresent science. They also work to safeguard scientific integrity by promoting reforms and publishing resources that advance understanding of how research institutions and federal agencies approach scientific integrity. Through their work, CSLDF aims to ensure that the best available research and data inform government decision-making.Generated from the website
