We’ve long known climate change is the greatest environmental threat humanity has ever faced.

What was thought to be a far off problem is here. And we must act before it’s too late.

Please help make our September Membership Drive a success by making your first gift to EDF today. By giving at least $35, you’ll unlock a $1-for-$1 match that doubles your impact. Or, start a new monthly gift, and the Wilson Charitable Trust will match your gift every month for a full year.

Undoubtedly, future generations will ask why we didn’t do more sooner. They’ll judge harshly those powerful interests who for far too long denied the science and opposed more aggressive action even in the face of overwhelming evidence of growing danger.

But I’ve noticed shifts in public awareness in recent years–have you noticed it too? 

Climate alarm and the call for global action is growing. Every day, more people are taking up the fight with us.

This week, we were thrilled to see Trevor Noah, host of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, highlight the connection between climate change and the wildfires raging in the West. And we’re honored and grateful that he urged his audience to take action by supporting EDF.

To say fighting climate change is an enormous challenge is putting it lightly. And we need all the help we can get to rally support at home and abroad for innovative solutions that will cut pollution and accelerate our transition to clean energy for a safer and healthier planet.

By becoming an EDF member during our September Membership Drive, your donation will be putting a better future within reach. 

Thank you for making progress possible,

Manager, Online Membership

P.S. As climate-fueled wildfires continue to scorch huge areas in California, Oregon and Washington, our hearts go out to the people and communities who are suffering and in harm’s way. We also stand with communities along the storm-battered Gulf Coast who are enduring yet another major hurricane. Above all, we urge all of our supporters to make your safety and security the utmost priority.

With your support, we are dedicated to securing every viable solution to the growing climate emergency. Thank you!
