We must focus on a rapid transition to 100 percent clean energy in the United States by 2035 and similarly ambitious goals in other climate-critical countries.
To successfully fight against all fossil fuel threats, we must directly challenge the dirty energy companies and their allies in power perpetuating a dangerous status quo.
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.
Transportation accounts for the largest share of U.S. climate pollution. NRDC works to help transition all vehicles to zero emissions while giving people more ways to get around without a car.
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.
