United states
As the world’s largest economy, the United States has long played a major role in driving global environmental progress.
With that progress under attack, EDF fights for policies that safeguard our air and water, create jobs and cut pollution — including the pollution that leads to worse wildfires, more intense heat and more severe storms.
By delivering game-changing solutions to these problems, EDF is helping to build healthier and more resilient communities across the U.S.
