Defending environmental safeguards in the U.S.
We’ve been fighting for strong environmental and public health protections in courts across the U.S. since 1967.
Today, EDF remains a powerful force in the defense of the country’s bedrock environmental laws, and we are also focused on the next generation of lifesaving protections.
Our legal team is dedicated to protecting human health, climate safety and a sustainable environment.
