Last week, Earth reached its highest temperature two days in a row, setting the course for the hottest summer on record... again. This extreme heat is exacerbating devastating wildfires and increasing the number of heat deaths, the leading weather-related cause of death in the U.S. — more than hurricanes, floods and tornadoes combined. 

John, will you donate to our Summer Match to protect our communities from the worst impacts of climate change, like wildfires and deadly heat waves? Thanks to the $2-for-$1 match, you will triple your impact as we help communities build resilience and prepare to face the negative impacts of climate change we can no longer avoid. 

As temperatures reach new extremes, about 50 million families across the U.S. are forced to decide between paying for their energy bills or buying necessities like food and medicine. Climate change will likely grow that number. 

Please donate today and have your gift matched $2 for $1, tripling your impact. Your support fuels EDF’s work building climate-resilient strategies, reducing the impacts of extreme weather and protecting our communities from future climate risks. Together, we’re: 

• Accelerating our transition to renewable energy to cut climate pollution, strengthen our power grid and make the electricity we use cleaner, cheaper and more reliable; 
• Supporting the most vulnerable by leveraging EDF’s Climate Vulnerability Index to identify the communities affected first and worst by climate change;  
• Strengthening communities by successfully advancing flood risk disclosure requirements to protect homes, businesses and residents in states like Florida, New York and New Jersey; and 
• Repairing and restoring wetlands and floodplains that protect vital food sources, provide habitats for wildlife, protect coastal communities and sequester large amounts of carbon. 

We have solutions at hand, and you are the driving force we need to address the climate threats that are harming our health and heating up our planet. Please donate today and make your gift go three times as far to build a safer climate and a vital Earth for everyone. 

We simply can’t do it without the support of passionate, dedicated and generous people like you. 

Thank you for everything you do,
