This guide from EDF and The Climate Source is meant for food and agriculture companies to share with their suppliers and support them in making the transition to climate-smart agriculture by creating awareness about relevant solutions and potential ways to fund them.

This EDF discussion brief sets out the shipping regulatory landscape and the evolution of shipping finance, identifying key barriers to financing the decarbonisation of shipping and aiming to stimulate dialogue among industry professionals, banks, and policymakers on potential solutions.

EDF factsheet summarizes how the principles of complementarity can help guide climate funds toward a more unified and impactful approach. Implementing concrete actions, like planning and programming, capacity building and readiness, and delivering resources at scale, will help funds streamline approaches towards climate and biodiversity goals and enhance the efficiency and impact of the resources deployed.

To better understand the disproportionate burden associated with warehouses and other major truck-attracting facilities in New Jersey, Environmental Defense Fund deployed a peer-reviewed framework called Proximity Mapping, which helps identify communities living close to facilities of concern.

A recent poll conducted by Environmental Defense Fund and Global Strategy Group shows that voters overwhelmingly support doing research into aquaculture to understand its benefits and risks and set the appropriate standards.

2023 was a pivotal year for EDF's impact in India. We made significant progress in building our foundation of partners and aligning our activities to support the country’s economic development, all while stabilizing the climate and providing a healthy environment.

Medium and heavy-duty vehicles (MHDVs) are major sources of harmful air pollution and greenhouse gases, and disproportionately burden communities of color. To study the impact of potential policy interventions, EDF estimated pollution changes and health impacts for the 7-county Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) region for two policy scenarios: 1. Implementation of the Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) regulation, and 2. a full transition to 100% zero tailpipe emission medium and heavy-duty vehicles (eMHDVs).

White paper from EDF provides details on the capabilities of new technologies for detecting landfill methane – including satellites, remote sensing technologies, and drones – and describes advances at the state level.

To jumpstart clean hydrogen buildout as part of the U.S. energy transition, the Inflation Reduction Act established the 45V tax credit for clean hydrogen production. Treasury has now issued a draft rule, outlining which hydrogen production processes are eligible for the different tax credit levels. To ensure that the hydrogen incentivized by this tax credit is truly clean and sustainable, these provisions must be included.
