NRDC is the nation's most effective environmental action organization. We use law, science and the support of 1.3 million members and online activists to protect the planet's wildlife and wild places and to ensure a safe and healthy environment for all living things.

Worth Magazine has named NRDC one of America's 100 best charities, and the Wise Giving Alliance of the Better Business Bureau reports that NRDC meets its highest standards for accountability and use of donor funds.

NRDC was founded in 1970 by a group of law students and attorneys at the forefront of the environmental movement. NRDC lawyers helped write some of America's bedrock environmental laws. Today, our staff of more than 300 lawyers, scientists and policy experts -- a MacArthur "genius" award-winner among them -- work out of offices in New York, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Beijing.

The New York Times calls us "One of the nation's most powerful environmental groups." The National Journal says we're "A credible and forceful advocate for stringent environmental protection."

With the support of our members and online activists, NRDC works to solve the most pressing environmental issues we face today: curbing global warming, getting toxic chemicals out of the environment, moving America beyond oil, reviving our oceans, saving wildlife and wild places, and helping China go green.

Amid record Big Oil profits and a climate crisis, tax giveaways to fossil fuel companies are subsidizing drilling. Our new report details 57 federal and state tax breaks for the Permian Basin in Texas and New Mexico that are incentivizing production, costing taxpayers billions, worsening climate change, and increasing air pollution. It’s time to end government handouts to Big Oil.

Following the conclusion of COP28 in Dubai last month, our President and CEO, Manish Bapna, reflected on the climate talks in a blog published by Economist Impact .

Despite the challenges that arose in Dubai, Manish writes, the consensus is clear: the book must close on fossil fuels. With a little more than a year to put the call to action into concrete plans, nations across the globe must resist the pleas of oil and gas proponents and, instead, stand up for its people and communities.

A recent report reveals that the state of many managed forest in Canada could be considered degraded by international standards. The degradation of the climate regulation and biodiversity values of these forests will likely continue until significant changes are made to federal reporting methods. https://lnkd.in/ePcRZMKJ

Roughly every five years, Congress revises a legislative package that sets the stage for food and farming policy in the United States. This is called the Farm Bill, and helps us to determine what we grow, how we grow it, and funds several programs for farmers as well as food access for low-income families.

The Farm Bill is one of the most critical pieces of legislation that shapes our food system and its environmental impacts, such as air and water pollution,” says Allison Johnson, senior attorney in NRDC’s People + Communities Program.

NRDC will be hosting a panel at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival with Hollywood creatives Quinta Brunson and Mike Schur who will be discussing the role of comedic storytelling in addressing climate change.

The latest findings are staggering: 2023 was the Earth's warmest year in 150 years. Global temperatures shattered records, with an average rise of 1.48°C/2.66°F compared to the late 1800s. Unchecked greenhouse gas emissions are driving this unprecedented warming. This is a stark warning demanding our immediate attention and action.

We must all work together to build a sustainable, equitable future. Our latest issue brief, in collaboration with the Building Energy, Equity, and Power coalition, focuses on the crucial role of building decarbonization. By prioritizing the voices of marginalized communities and addressing historic inequities, we can not only slash emissions but also tackle housing disparities and health inequalities.

New York is officially leading the country when it comes to curbing the use of toxic neonics pesticides that kill bees and are linked to health concerns in people! The Birds and Bees Protection Act is the first and only law in the nation to address the largest and most widespread neonic use: neonic coatings on corn and soybean seeds.
