Securing vital environmental protections

Why advocacy matters: The longest-lasting environmental solutions have the broadest support. That means the biggest environmental problems require that we all work together.
How we use this powerful approach: We work with activists, communities, companies and other allies to defend environmental protections, address inequities and craft strong policy. We make government work for the environment. Our 3 million members and activists make all the difference in this fight.

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.
