Based in St. Paul, Minnesota, the Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy is a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting the state's environment through law, science, and research. It seeks to ensure clean water and air, healthy ecosystems, and a sustainable economy, with a focus on public health for Minnesotans. For roughly fifty years, it has worked with the legislature, in the courts, and with public agencies to enact, strengthen, and enforce environmental laws, supported by professionals in environmental law and policy. The organization concentrates on issues including water, land use and transportation, clean energy, natural resources, and mining. Its work targets Minnesota communities and public institutions that rely on sound policy and enforceable protections to safeguard natural resources and public health. In May 2026, the organization filed lawsuits challenging a Pine Island development project, contending the environmental impact study was not adequate.
