Advocating for Solutions to Global Warming
National Wildlife Federation strives to promote solutions to climate change -- and its impacts on people and wildlife -- here in the United States and around the world.
We advocate for comprehensive solutions that:
-
Reduce Carbon Pollution- At NWF, our top priority is to advance climate agreements at the national and international levels that will rapidly reduce global warming pollution and protect our communities and wildlife from a changing climate.
-
Protect and Enforce the Clean Air Act - NWF is pushing hard to ensure that the Environmental Protection Agency fulfills its obligations under the Clean Air Act to reduce carbon and other harmful air pollutants (like mercury) from the largest polluters, including coal-fired power plants, cars and trucks.
-
Reduce Harmful Drilling and Mining - Not only are fossil fuels contributing to global warming, but the development of these fuels is destroying our treasured landscapes. NWF is working to prevent the expansion of dirty energy development—such as tar sands and oil shale—and new coal mining that is slated for export.
-
Encourage Renewable Energy - Wind, solar, geothermal and sustainable biomass energy are essential to helping reduce carbon pollution and the impacts of climate change on our natural world. We support the expansion of clean, wildlife-friendly renewable energy sources.
-
Stop Deforestation - Because of the immense amount of carbon stored in tropical forests, deforestation is one of the largest contributors toglobal climate change. NWF is working to advance policy and market solutions to conserve the world’s largest tropical forests.
-
Promote Healthy Forests and Farms - NWF works to advance wildlife and habitat-friendly land-based climate solutions on forests and farmlands across the country. Healthy forests and farms can provide habitat for wildlife, and they can also help to address climate change through climate-friendly farming, forest restoration, and sustainable bioenergy.
-
Protect Wildlife and Habitat - Global warming is harming wildlife and wild places all across the globe. NWF is advocating for responsible management and protection of habitat and wildlife as they face increased risks with changes in climate.
