This month, record-breaking heat waves are already sweeping the nation — including in Alaska, where meteorologists at the National Weather Service issued the state's first-ever heat advisory. Extreme heat puts millions of people at risk and threatens the survival of wildlife and the ecosystems we all depend on.

But we’re not powerless. We have the tools to protect our communities, environment, health and economy. And with your support, we can rise to meet this moment and confront the climate crisis head on.

John, when you donate to EDF’s $2-for-$1 Summer Match, your gift will have three times the impact to ensure a vital Earth for everyone.

To stay on pace to hit our summer fundraising goal, we need to reach $125,000 by midnight tonight. 1,093 and counting EDF members have already put us more than 84% of the way there. Will you be one of the next dedicated donors that helps us reach this critical milestone?

Your generous Summer Match gift will go three times as far, using the powerful tools of the law, science and economics to fight climate change by:
 

 Leveraging EDF’s legal expertise to defend critical environmental protections.

 Protecting threatened wildlife and valuable ecosystems — like forests and wetlands — that can help stabilize our climate and buffer damage from climate threats.

 Supporting our health and ensuring the air we breathe, water we drink, food we eat and products we use are as safe as possible.

 Slashing methane pollution from the oil and gas industry — the fastest way to slow the rate of global warming this decade.

 Working with farmers to conserve water and land, support wildlife and increase food production through climate-smart farming practices.

 Empowering fishers to play a key role in building sustainable fisheries, thriving coastal communities and healthy oceans.
