North America

In North America, Pacific Environment leads people-powered campaigns to transform the shipping industry and reduce harmful pollution at its source. Our work focuses on cleaning up ports, holding major corporations accountable and creating healthier, more resilient communities through zero-emission shipping solutions.

How we advance clean ports and shipping

Through initiatives like Ports for People and Ship It Zero, we collaborate with frontline communities, ports, industry, labor unions, environmental justice advocates and local governments to:

  1. Cut air and water pollution from fossil fuel-powered ships and port equipment
  2. Advance strong climate policies at the local, state and federal levels
  3. Push major retailers to commit to zero-emission shipping supply chains
  4. Support clean energy infrastructure at ports across the U.S.

Championing sustainable maritime shipping practices across the U.S

Pacific Environment is helping set a new standard for maritime climate leadership through clean shipping solutions that work for both people and the planet. From electrifying port equipment to phasing out fossil fuel-powered vessels, our strategies are designed to reduce emissions, strengthen community health and create lasting, scalable impact.

Together, we’re working to transform the maritime sector from one of the world’s dirtiest industries. Join us in the fight to deliver clean air, protect frontline communities and chart a sustainable course for the future of shipping.
