International Climate Policy
International Climate Action
From helping indigenous peoples prevent the destruction of their forests in Brazil, to teaching farmers in China low-carbon farming techniques, to educating rural women in India about the impact of climate change on their daily lives, EDF's international team uses effective, innovative efforts to promote policies that reduce emissions around the globe.
EDF's Policy Positions and Analyses
Our experts are working to advance these issues:
-
Funding the Turn to Safety. We must shift global emissions downward within a decade. Our Turn To Safety analysis [PDF] shows how to generate funding to do so.
-
Speed and Flexibility. Docking Stations [PDF] show how a flexible framework can let nations earn clean energy financing when they are ready to cap emissions.
-
Tropical Forests (REDD). Our pioneering work on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation shows how economic incentives to keep trees alive can help tropical nations protect forest and the climate.
-
U.S. Climate Bill. See a summary of international provisions [PDF] passed by the U.S. House in June 2009, and the path that lies ahead through the Senate.
