COEJL advocates action on a wide of array of environmental issues, from protecting public health and securing environmental justice to preserving biodiversity and addressing global climate change.

COEJL's policy positions are formulated through the Jewish Council for Public Affairs (JCPA), a national coordinating body for 13 national and 125 local Jewish public affairs agencies (Jewish community relations councils). The Jewish Council for Public Affairs develops consensus positions on a wide range of public affairs issues for the organized Jewish community. These policies constitute COEJL's policy platform and the foundation for COEJL's advocacy work.
