Hana Vizcarra is the deputy managing attorney for National Climate in the D.C. office, where she advocates for and defends strong federal climate action. Her work includes defending federal authorities to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and address the worst impacts of climate change, encouraging a fuller assessment of climate-related risks in corporate climate-related disclosures, and ensuring continued support for unbiased and best-in-class climate science. She also represents organizations across the country in defending funding meant to mitigate the worst impacts of climate change in communities most harmed by its effects.

Before joining Earthjustice, she was a staff attorney at Harvard Law School’s Environmental & Energy Law Program, where she analyzed federal climate, environmental, and energy regulation and policy and studied private sector responses to climate change.

She previously practiced environmental law with two national law firms, where she worked on complex environmental litigation, compliance, and transactional matters covering a broad array of statutory areas and industries. While in private practice, she also maintained an active pro bono practice primarily focused on immigration law.

Before becoming a lawyer, Hana worked in political research roles at labor and campaign organizations.

Hana holds a J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center and a B.A. from Pomona College.
