By: Jason Mathers and Peter Zalzal The U.S. made an important commitment at COP27 yesterday that will help reduce climate and air pollution from the dirtiest vehicles on our roads and create a foundation for more ambitious action, which is urgently needed to reduce pollution from trucks and buses. Joining sixteen nations — as well …

The Inflation Reduction Act is the largest investment in combating climate change ever passed by Congress. The nearly $369 billion in climate and clean energy provisions in the new law include grants and tax credits that will bring down emissions and provide businesses with the certainty they need to make long-term investments in clean energy

In advance of COP27, leaders gathered to pursue high-impact solutions to the climate crisis and the intersection of green business and tech.

EDF report focused on non-operated joint ventures (NOJVs) in the oil and gas industry finds that supermajors’ climate targets to reduce methane emissions only apply to assets they operate directly.

More studies and data are needed to shape the regulatory standards for farming seafood offshore in United States federal waters, according to a new report published in the scientific journal Marine Policy. 

A new report published today by Environmental Defense Fund focused on non-operated joint ventures (NOJVs) in the oil and gas industry finds that supermajors’ climate targets to reduce methane emissions only apply to assets they operate directly.

A new report published today by Environmental Defense Fund focused on non-operated joint ventures (NOJVs) in the oil and gas industry finds that supermajors’ climate targets to reduce methane emissions only apply to assets they operate directly.

Analysis of supermajors' non-operated joint ventures with state-owned entities shows emissions reporting from these assets remains opaque. This is a significant opportunity for supermajors to raise the bar on methane action and scale emissions reductions quickly.

Increased funding critical for effective chemical regulation to protect public health and the environment

Groundwater is arguably the most important water supply in Texas, providing over 60% of the state's overall water supply and an average of 30% of the water flowing in our rivers. In some parts of Texas, like the Hill Country, where the majority of the state's rivers begin as headwater springs, 100% of the water flowing in most rivers and streams originates as groundwater.

New York voters overwhelmingly approved a $4.2 billion state environmental bond to reduce flooding risks, reduce climate pollution, preserve parks, safeguard water and more.

Over the course of this decade, India is going to be doubling virtually every sector in the country – from construction to transport to manufacturing. There is a very real risk we will end up doubling emissions. Now, while our per capita emissions are much lower than the world’s highest historical emitters (the US, China & Europe), our poor, our food systems and our health infrastructure will be unable to withstand the worst of the climate shocks.

Nitrogen — which is often added to farm fields through commercial fertilizer, manure or leguminous plants — is essential for feeding and clothing eight billion people around the world, and counting. But serious problems occur when fields have too little or too much nitrogen. Too little lowers crop yields and depletes soil health. Too much …

The Inflation Reduction Act will improve Americans’ lives by fighting inflation, lowering health care costs and making significant down payments on energy security and climate progress.

Natasha Vidangos, Senior Director for Climate Innovation and Technology at Environmental Defense Fund, tells us what’s next for the investments included in the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and how they can help us tackle the climate crisis.

It’s not an energy transition – it’s a supply increase with an emissions drop. That was the main message from industry at the North American Gas Forum in Washington, D.C. The annual conference, hosted by Energy Dialogues, brings together natural gas interests to discuss where the industry is headed, with perspectives from policymakers and civil …

The most consequential U.S. climate law ever will provide a historic jolt to the electric vehicle market.

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas. New footage reveals rampant emissions from Canada's oil and gas industry.

Climate change has been brought into sharp focus in recent years with intense weather events leading to food shortages, famine and the destruction of homes, businesses and infrastructure.

How will climate change affect U.S. crop yields?

Commercial U.S. fleets are going big on electric trucks, according to a recent EDF analysis of medium- and heavy-duty fleet announcements, which finds a nearly 8,500% increase in zero-emission fleet deployments and commitments since 2017.

The most consequential U.S. climate law ever will provide a historic jolt to the electric vehicle market.

The UN just launched a methane detection satellite into space called MARS that will help pinpoint where methane emissions occur and notify stakeholders.

EDF scientist says to leave your leaves on the ground to help your grass and the climate.
