For more than 55 years, the Ohio Environmental Council (OEC) has advocated for a healthier environment for all who call Ohio home. Through persistence and partnership, the OEC has made progress to address the most pressing environmental and climate issues facing Ohio communities. From resounding victories at the ballot box to important policy and legal wins, our advocacy and engagement efforts are making a difference.
The OEC is part of a family of statewide organizations — including the OEC and OEC Action Fund — that work in tandem within legal guidelines to secure the vision of a clean, healthy Ohio where our democracy empowers all communities to thrive in harmony with the environment. Both of these organizations play a critical role in advancing strategic goals and programs.
