John, climate pollution is threatening wildlife and harming people’s health. Meanwhile, clean energy is simply becoming cheaper than fossil fuels, making the switch a no-brainer. Investing in people and the planet leads to long-term profits.

At EDF, we believe that a thriving environment and a strong economy can — and should — go hand-in-hand. Here are a few ways EDF forges unique partnerships to support a healthy economy, thriving communities and a vital Earth:

• Fighting climate change and reducing warming now: EDF is working with companies and investors to slash oil and gas methane pollution — the fastest way to slow the rate of global warming this decade — and move the industry toward a net zero carbon economy. Learn why cutting methane is cost-effective.
• Ensuring the products we use are as safe as possible to protect our health: Studies have shown people of color face greater exposure to toxic ingredients used in personal care products. EDF is giving companies a step-by-step guide to ensure that everybody has access to safer products. Learn more about clean beauty justice.
• Advancing science-based solutions to support farmers and a healthy planet: EDF is working with farmers and companies like Danone to reduce methane pollution, make food production more sustainable, strengthen soil health, and conserve water and land. Learn about the first methane-specific climate pledge by a food company. 
• Connecting and empowering climate leaders to accelerate our clean energy future: Through Climate Corps®, EDF trains hundreds of graduate students annually and places them at leading organizations across China, India and the U.S. to accelerate and advance climate goals. Learn what makes Climate Corps invaluable.

The results we achieve together hold great promise for a better future for the people, ecosystems and wildlife we are fighting to protect.

Next week, we’ll dive into how to build an equitable future through clean energy.
