About us
NRDC is the nation's most effective environmental action organization. We use law, science and the support of 1.3 million members and online activists to protect the planet's wildlife and wild places and to ensure a safe and healthy environment for all living things. Worth Magazine has named NRDC one of America's 100 best charities, and the Wise Giving Alliance of the Better Business Bureau reports that NRDC meets its highest standards for accountability and use of donor funds. NRDC was founded in 1970 by a group of law students and attorneys at the forefront of the environmental movement. NRDC lawyers helped write some of America's bedrock environmental laws. Today, our staff of more than 300 lawyers, scientists and policy experts -- a MacArthur "genius" award-winner among them -- work out of offices in New York, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Beijing. The New York Times calls us "One of the nation's most powerful environmental groups." The National Journal says we're "A credible and forceful advocate for stringent environmental protection." With the support of our members and online activists, NRDC works to solve the most pressing environmental issues we face today: curbing global warming, getting toxic chemicals out of the environment, moving America beyond oil, reviving our oceans, saving wildlife and wild places, and helping China go green.

Beluga whales in Alaska’s Cook Inlet are critically endangered—their population has plummeted from 1,300 to around 300 in the last 30 years. When the Department of Interior greenlit an oil and gas lease in Cook Inlet, NRDC sued. An Alaska federal court recently ruled in our favor, holding that Interior did not adequately consider the potential wildlife and environmental risks. Now, development in the lease area is suspended until Interior completes another environmental impact analysis. Learn more about this uphill battle from Irene Gutierrez: https://lnkd.in/esNijZxp

To avert the worst impacts of the climate crisis, the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) emphasizes the importance of limiting the global average temperature to 1.5 degrees. While countries must aim to stay well below this threshold, even preventing a tenth or hundredth degree of warming can make a difference.
1.5 Degrees of Global Warming--Are We There Yet?
