change complements the advocacy work PROGRAM, SERVICE LINE 4 of Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) Both Organizations take on different roles in achieving common ACCOMPLISHEMENTS objectives EDAF is involved in lobbying and legislative orkw hile EDF supports research, scientific analysis, and policy positioning CLIMATE and AIR GOALS EDAF seeks to avoid the catastrophic consequences of climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and avert the public health threat caused by conventional air pollution Our current efforts are aimed atw inning permanent reductions in 8 emissions of greenhouse gases by 2020 and reducing conventional air pollutants through the implementation of federal clean air regulations and to build a foundation for deeper cuts in US emissions by 2050 VICTORIES ACHIEVED The Clean Air Act survived a pivotal challenge hen EDAF and our broad coalition of allies waged a successful campaign to defeat several legislative proposals aimed at stripping or hobbling EPA's pow er to reduce greenhouse gases EDAF Executive Director Fred Krupp told CNNMoney com, "Never in four decades has there ever been this brazen assault on the Environmental Protection Agency's ability to protect our health "We and our supporters and allies also laid the groundwork for the successful defeat of a legislative resolution that would block extensive reductions in sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions from pow er plants in eastern states Another landrnarkw in for public health and the environment was the Mercury and Air Toxics Rule, which requires pow er plants to dramatically cut their emissions of mercury and other dangerous air toxins MAKING THE GULF OF MEXICO WHOLEAGAIN Gulf Coast etlands are a miracle of nature, protecting industry, cities, fisheries and ildlife EDF and EDAF are part of a strong bipartisan coalition to restore Gulf Coast etlands More than a year after BP's Deepw ater Horizon ell as capped, the city of New Orleans remains vulnerable to hurricanes, and Louisiana's wetlands, hich nurture the Gulf's $23 billion fishing industry, are in bigger trouble than ever The state loses up to 30 square miles of coastland each year, due to canals and levees that starve the wetlands of sediment and freshw ater The oil spill orsened the ecological disaster, but it also opened up opportunities to rethink how the Mississippi River and its delta are managed For 35 years, EDF has been at the forefront of efforts to restore Gulf Coast etlands In 2011, weioined forces with allies ranging fromthe Louisiana governor's office to the 17,000--member Hourna Nation tribe to press for full restoration of the Gulf Our goal was to ensure that most of the BP penalties fromthe oil spill, hich could reach $21 billion, go to rebuilding endangered Gulf communities and ecosystems BP committed an initial $1 billion in 2011 to pay for early restoration projects, in an agreement EDF helped advance We then helped shape a bill in Washington thatwould dedicate 80% of BP's fines to economic recovery and wetlands restoration, instead of to the general federal budget Cosponsored by two Democrats and seven Republicans, the proposed legislation represents a milestone for a politically polarized Congress As Senators Mary Landrieu (D--LA) and Richard Shelby (R--AL) hammered out the bill, we gained support on both sides of the aisle by introducing provisions that were important to both Republicans and Democrats Our strategy included radio ads pointing out how investing in coastal restoration creates more Jobs than oil and gas
