John,

It may not always look it, but we're making more progress now than ever before.

At EDF, we're working with food producers to cut methane emissions...vehicle manufacturers to revolutionize transportation...and communities around the world to rebuild and restore critical carbon sinks. And there's so much more still to come!

Please, seize this moment, when you have four times the power to help secure a safer climate future for generations, thanks to our $3-for-$1 match.

Your support gives us the resources we need to build partnerships, engage with communities on the ground, craft robust legal and political strategies, advocate for climate efforts and so much more. Donate now so we can keep the success stories coming your way.

Thank you for all you do,

Sam Parry
Director, Membership

The world crossed a perilous threshold this past summer when global surface air temperatures briefly rose, for the first time, to more than 1.5° C (2.7° F) above pre-industrial levels. It’s a sign that we need to be doing more work to make meaningful reductions in climate pollution.

EDF is doing just that, John. We’re taking on climate change from every angle and making sure every effort is taken to protect people and the environment.

By donating before midnight this Sunday, your renewed support will go farther than ever to fund high-impact and critically-necessary work, like: 
 
  • Taking on methane pollution right at the source. Through projects like MethaneSAT, a satellite pinpointing methane hotspots around the world, we can hold polluters accountable, provide publicly available data to drive action and highlight quick-win opportunities to immediately drive down emissions of this potent greenhouse gas.
  • Slashing climate pollution from the transportation sector by working with vehicle manufacturers to revolutionize transportation, pushing for EPA standards that will lead us to 100% zero-emission vehicles by 2040 and cleaning up the maritime shipping industry.
  • Empowering food producers to help save the planet while feeding the world. We are protecting funding for climate-smart agricultural practices to lower climate pollution and increase crop resilience, working with food companies like Nestle and Danone as they commit to slashing methane emissions and helping fishers and farmers adopt sustainable methods to ensure their livelihoods for generations to come.
  • Harnessing nature to fight climate change by protecting and restoring critical carbon sinks like wetlands, tropical forests and oceans. In 2023, we started work in Ecuador to help repair and restore nearly 1,000 acres of tropical wetland forests. This effort helps protect vital food sources, provides habitats for wildlife, protects coastal communities and sequesters large amounts of carbon.
 

Let's build on this momentum together. Donate now, and two long-time EDF members will match every $1 you give with an extra $3 — maximizing your impact.

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