The science is clear: There’s no time to waste.
Without bold interventions:
- We may face 7°F of warming with catastrophic consequences.
- Up to 50% of cropland could fail to produce food.
- Several hundred million people risk losing homes to sea level rise.
Preventing the worst effects of climate change is possible, and our hope is strong. EDF and our partners are launching big solutions — from soil to space — for our health and our planet.
