Environmental Defense Fund

Lasting change for the environment rarely comes quickly, or easily. But persistence has always has been an EDF hallmark, and it will stand us in good stead in 2011.

As we prepare for the next national conversation about climate and energy legislation, no other organization is better positioned to demonstrate and build consensus — locally, internationally, and in the business world — behind a host of solutions to the climate crisis.

EDF's long-term goals

EDF seeks to avoid the catastrophic consequences of climate change by reducing greenhouse gas pollution and applying effective adaptation strategies. We are working to:

• Win permanent cuts in U.S. global warming pollution
• Secure an international climate agreement
• Help businesses hasten low-carbon innovations
