Advocacy

The biggest environmental problems require that we all work together. That's why we build coalitions — and fight to win and defend great environmental laws.

The longest-lasting environmental solutions have the broadest support. So we work with activists, companies and other allies to defend environmental protections, address inequities and craft strong, bipartisan policy.

Partner perspective

EDF builds coalitions to secure victories in the courtroom. At the end of the day it's not about credit. It's about rulings, it's about changing policy, it's about changing minds.
