“New England is poised to lead the nation in responding to climate change and emerging threats to our environment and public health. CLF has been the driving force in getting New England to this point. I am excited to lead CLF’s smart and devoted advocates as we write a new chapter in protecting the region’s natural resources, communities and future prosperity.”
For over 30 years, Bradley M. Campbell has been a leader in strengthening the nation’s environmental laws, holding polluters accountable for harms to our health and environment, and accelerating clean energy deployment.
As CLF president, he has dramatically expanded the organization’s impact and success in reducing climate-damaging emissions, securing remedies for environmental injustice, addressing new pollution and safety threats from extreme weather, and conserving New England’s iconic ocean resources. CLF’s successes under his oversight include shuttering fossil fuel facilities threatening our climate, communities, and coast; reforms to speed clean energy and adaptation projects; and landmark laws and litigation holding major oil companies accountable for climate risks.
As commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Campbell permanently protected over a million acres of watershed lands, led development of the 11-state pact to reduce climate-damaging emissions from power plants, and launched a program to address industrial pollution that has yielded over $3 billion in compensation and natural resource restoration.
Campbell earlier served as a Regional Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Mid-Atlantic Region, where he oversaw EPA’s response to major oil spills and helped craft the 2000 Chesapeake Bay Agreement among EPA and states in the estuary’s watershed. As a senior official in the Clinton White House, he oversaw initiatives to strengthen environmental law implementation across multiple agencies and negotiated a landmark federal-state agreement to end ocean dumping in the New York Bight. Earlier, as a trial attorney in the U.S. Department of Justice, he was responsible for major environmental cases.
In the private sector, Campbell’s successes include founding his own law firm and developing a series of commercial-scale renewable energy projects.
