Triple your power to build a safer climate future.

John, the world crossed a perilous threshold this month, when global surface air temperatures briefly rose to more than 1.5° C above pre-industrial levels for the first time. 

It's a troubling sign that we're not yet doing enough to meet the commitments made just 8 years ago, when nearly all of the world's nations signed the Paris Climate Accords, agreeing to a goal of limiting warming to no more than 1.5° C.

Making meaningful reductions in climate pollution demands that we take bold action — and that takes resources. That’s why our Summer Match, when your support goes three times as far, is an ideal time to make your first gift to EDF.

Please seize this moment by donating today, and two long-time EDF members will match every $1 you give with $2 more — tripling your impact.

Your Summer Match gift will immediately be put to work funding high-impact and critically necessary work, like:

• Ending the world’s dependence on fossil fuels by fast tracking the transition to abundant and affordable clean energy;
• Harnessing the power of nature — oceans, forests, wetlands and soils — to absorb carbon and cool our warming world; and
• Helping our communities build resilience to the climate impacts we can no longer avoid.

Your support can provide the resources we need to build partnerships, engage with communities on the ground, craft and execute robust legal strategies, advocate for climate champions and so much more.

Here are a few of the climate-stabilizing efforts that members like you make possible:

• Slash oil and gas methane pollution — the fastest way to slow the rate of global warming this decade — by working with companies and urging the Biden Administration to advance stronger methane rules that will protect the health of millions of people.
• Drive climate progress through the Inflation Reduction Act by helping state and local leaders, businesses, communities and individuals access the climate and clean energy investments to cut pollution and accelerate the transition to a green economy.
• Advance science-based solutions to support farmers and a healthy planet by working with farmers and companies like Danone to reduce methane pollution, make food production more sustainable, strengthen soil health, and conserve water and land.

We strategically focus on the work that can make the biggest impact — and it’s your support that gets the job done. Please donate today to take advantage of our Summer Match and have your donation make three times the difference. 

I hope I can count on your support. So much of what we do to create a safer climate future depends on you!

Thank you for standing with us,

P.S. Thanks to a $2-for-$1 match from two long-time EDF donors, your donation will triple your power to build a safer climate future and help reach our goal of unlocking $1 million in matching funds this summer. To stay on pace, we’ll need to reach $150,000 by June 30 — just 10 days from today. Will you help us unlock the maximum matching funds by donating to EDF now?
