2021 Impact Report

We are excited to share our 2021 Impact Report, where you can find information on our latest achievements and efforts—all aimed to fight climate change and protect people and the planet.

Connecting the dots

This year, more than ever, people around the world connected the dots between climate change and the damage done by extreme weather. This brought a new urgency, along with opportunities for many, including policymakers, to become more open to bolder action. To keep up with the growing acceptance of needed climate solutions, EDF spearheaded major efforts in 2021 to translate these growing opportunities into progress toward our vision of a vital Earth for everyone.
