NEBRASKA GREEN AMENDMENT

The Nebraska Green Amendment

The Nebraska Green Amendment was first proposed in 2025 by Senator George Dungan. While the amendment did not make it past a committee vote, a quick hearing with robust public turnout was a great start for Nebraska! Constitutional amendments always take time — they are harder to get, which means that once it is secured you are unlikely to ever lose it. We encourage you to join the Nebraska Green Amendment today and for future years to come! Get in touch with us if you would care to get involved.

Green Amendments For The Generations – the Nebraska Green Amendment

Green Amendments For The Generations is an organization working across the nation to secure highest constitutional recognition and protection for our human rights to clean air, pure water, a safe climate, and healthy environments, for both present and future generations. We are proud to partner with on-the-ground leaders in Nebraska state to provide resources, expertise, and capacity for the Nebraska Green Amendment movement.

Our organization has helped to ensure a vibrant Pennsylvania Green Amendment and lead the effort to secure New York’s Green Amendment in 2021. Learn more about the national Green Amendments For The Generations organization.

Green Amendments For The Generations seeks to inspire and support pursuit and passage of self-executing, environmental rights amendments in the Bill of Rights section of every state constitution across the U.S. and ultimately at the federal level.

Once this is accomplished, we will work with communities to ensure strong and meaningful implementation and enforcement of their constitutional Green Amendment rights, just as we are doing in the states that have so far achieved these protections. Learn about our legal and advocacy successes, and our ongoing legal and advocacy efforts.
