In this report, EDF establishes best practices for investors and companies seeking to credibly and quickly address methane emissions.

Forest carbon credits may prove to be a useful tool to reduce net carbon emissions from land use and supplement overall emissions reductions. New research from EDF refines previous research by accounting for more variability in ecological factors that affect carbon sequestration.

Facing $150 billion annually in direct costs from climate-related disasters, the current system of disaster recovery in the U.S. is failing many families and communities. A new pilot program from EDF and partners could help address gaps in assistance and increase equity in recovery.

The entire northeast corner of Ecuador was once inhabited by the A’i Cofán people, but the population has dwindled as the land has been fragmented by development. Protecting their land is a constant, sometimes dangerous, struggle.
