Tackling methane is critical to prevent Arctic summer sea ice — and polar bears — from disappearing. That’s because methane is responsible for up to 1/3 of today’s global warming and has 80 times more warming power than carbon dioxide in its first 20 years in the atmosphere.

EDF has been tackling methane pollution for over a decade. And your support will go to work to:
 

 Fight against any efforts to roll back progress by working with other environmental leaders and many allies.

 Help slash methane from the oil and gas industry — the fastest way to slow the rate of global warming this decade — and save Arctic summer sea ice for polar bears.

 Leverage data from EDF’s methane-detecting satellite, MethaneSAT, to pinpoint sources of methane pollution, plug leaks and hold polluters accountable.

 Partner with farmers on science-based solutions to cut methane pollution, make food production more sustainable, strengthen soil health and conserve water.

Take on big polluters and oppose their attacks on clean air and other important protections for our environment and health.

Our hard-won climate progress and long-standing environmental protections are under attack. We need you with us now more than ever. Your support today shows you’re fighting back against policies that harm the wildlife, special places and communities you love.

From polar bears in the Arctic to your community, EDF is working to stabilize our climate to ensure that people and nature can thrive. Please donate today in honor of International Polar Bear Day to help fight climate change and build a vital Earth for everyone.

Thank you for all you do to help polar bears, people and our planet!
