The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) is a nonprofit environmental advocacy organization dedicated to safeguarding the earth’s natural resources, public health, and wildlife. Founded in 1970, NRDC combines the expertise of scientists, lawyers, and policy advocates to address critical environmental issues, including climate change, pollution, and conservation.

With a focus on clean energy, sustainable cities, and protection of wildlands, NRDC works at the local, national, and international levels to enact policies that promote a cleaner, healthier planet. Their legal team often challenges harmful practices in court, striving to hold governments and corporations accountable for environmental abuses.

NRDC’s initiatives include campaigns to reduce plastic pollution, advance renewable energy solutions, and protect endangered species. They also advocate for environmental justice, working to ensure that marginalized communities have access to clean air, water, and healthy living conditions.

Through research, education, and advocacy, NRDC empowers individuals and communities to take action and fosters sustainable practices that benefit both people and the planet. By collaborating with other organizations and engaging millions of members and activists, NRDC strives to create a future where environmental and human health are prioritized and preserved.
