This synthesis from EDF is for federal and state policymakers looking to shape public investments in climate mitigation through agricultural soil carbon credits, protocol developers, project developers and aggregators, buyers of credits and others interested in learning about the landscape of soil carbon.

Report documents the results of an EDF research project examining groundwater management challenges in Texas that included convening two stakeholder workshops to identify priority issues and gather diverse perspectives.  

Using the latest energy models, EDF teamed up with Evolved Research to create a new and improved cost curve that provides a roadmap for policymakers exploring ways to get to net-zero carbon emissions. The curve demonstrates the need for policymakers to support big, low-cost cuts in carbon emissions now, as well as the need to support the development of newer technologies that can help get us past the finish line.

This EDF working paper explores policy tools that federal policymakers could use to quickly and responsibly begin deployment of Direct Air Capture facilities, one of several possible carbon removal approaches that could help get the U.S. to net-negative emissions, alongside essential measures to slash pollution.

This report was prepared to assist Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) in providing recommendations to FEMA about how a new loan program resulting from the Safeguarding Tomorrow through Ongoing Risk Mitigation (STORM) Act can be structured to encourage nature-based solutions.

This report (in Chinese) analyzes the catch monitoring and supervision systems in detail, describes the pilot experience and challenges encountered, and puts forward suggestions for improvement.

This report (in English) analyzes the catch monitoring and supervision systems in detail, describes the pilot experience and challenges encountered, and puts forward suggestions for improvement.

This report, developed by M.J. Bradley & Associates for Environmental Defense Fund, summarizes an analysis of the U.S. medium and heavy-duty in-use truck fleet to identify the most common vehicle types/uses, estimate the environmental impact of each, and assess near-term readiness for greater adoption of electric vehicles.

In recent years, carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technology has moved from theoretical concept to pilot scale, producing a handful of potentially scalable approaches for generating negative emissions by capturing carbon dioxide (CO2 ) from the atmosphere. This paper from EDF explores just one technology-based approach: direct air capture (DAC) with dedicated geologic storage, also known as direct air carbon capture and sequestration (DACCS).
