Your support today will make major climate successes possible in 2023. Thanks to generous EDF members like you, in the last year alone:
- EDF and the environmental community worked tirelessly with key Senate offices and after months of negotiations, Congress passed the most ambitious federal climate legislation in U.S. history. The Inflation Reduction Act allocates $369 billion to protect our climate and reduce pollution by investing in clean energy and electric vehicles.
- EPA set new clean car standards, which will slash over 3 billion tons of tailpipe pollution by 2050. EDF continues to work with automakers, labor unions and regulators to drive the clean car revolution.
- After over 20 years of consulting with EDF experts, China launched the world’s largest carbon trading market, a significant step to help the country achieve carbon neutrality before 2060.
- LEAF (Lowering Emissions by Accelerating Forest finance), an EDF-backed effort that aims to save large-scale tropical forests and bring valuable economic support to the Indigenous people who defend them, has secured $1.5 billion in funding commitments from countries and companies to buy high quality carbon credits.
- Research led by EDF concludes that concerted global action, using existing technologies, could cut methane pollution in half by 2030 and slow the rate of global warming by as much as 30%. At COP26 — the United Nations climate talks in Glasgow, Scotland — more than 100 countries joined the Global Methane Pledge.
John, now as we look ahead to 2023, we hope we can count on you to take the next step with us in this fight. Donate by midnight tonight and have your gift matched $3 for $1 by two long-time EDF donors for 4X the impact.
Thank you for being part of our powerful EDF community,
