NRDC works with the public and private sectors to spur innovations that will help economies adapt to a new world driven by climate change, and deliver a greener, more prosperous future that benefits all.
Together with Indigenous leaders and local partners, NRDC is supporting efforts to save critical ecosystems from unsustainable exploitation for timber, fossil fuels, lithium, and other resources.
Since helping to pass the Clean Water Act in the 1970s, NRDC has continued to fight for a safe and sufficient water supply and for actions that keep pollution out of freshwater ecosystems—for the benefit of all.
Our oceans are overfished, exploited for oil and gas, choked with pollution, and dangerously acidifying as the waters heat up. NRDC is determined to turn the tide.
NRDC's leadership team and board of trustees make sure the organization works to ensure the rights of all people to a livable planet with clean air, clean water, and healthy, equitable communities.
