NRDC'S INTERNATIONAL WORK LEVERAGES OUR SCIENTIFIC, ECONOMIC, AND POLICY EXPERTISE TO ADVANCE KEY ENVIRONMENTAL AND CLIMATE PROGRAMS WITH FAR-REACHING IMPACTS ACROSS THE WORLD. OUR HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS PAST FISCAL YEAR ARE AS FOLLOWS:AT THE 28TH UN CONFERENCE OF PARTIES IN DUBAI, NRDC EXPERTS MET WITH WORLD LEADERS TO ADVOCATE FOR A STRONG GLOBAL AGREEMENT ON EMISSIONS CUTS. THE CONFERENCE YIELDED A HISTORIC RESULT: MORE THAN 190 COUNTRIES CALLED FOR TRIPLING RENEWABLE ENERGY, DOUBLING THE PACE OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY GAINS, AND ENDING DEFORESTATION AND FOREST DEGRADATION. NRDC ALSO HOSTED AN EVENT FOCUSING ON THE HARMFUL IMPACTS OF LIQUIFIED NATURAL GAS PRODUCTION ON COMMUNITIES AND HEALTH AND PARTICIPATED IN A NUMBER OF PANELS ON TOPICS INCLUDING SUSTAINABLE COOLING IN EMERGING ECONOMIES; WOMEN-LED CLEAN ENERGY SOLUTIONS; AND ON DEFINING CLEAN HYDROGEN.

ITS NEW FORESTS, LAND, AND AGRICULTURE POLICY DEMONSTRATED ITS COMMITMENT TO REDUCING FOREST DEGRADATION IN ALL ITS PRODUCTS AND DECLARED THAT IT AIMS TO RID THEIR ENTIRE PRODUCT LINE FROM NATURAL FOREST FIBER. THIS IS A HUGE STEP FORWARD FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO ADDRESS LONGSTANDING LOOPHOLES IN GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAINS THAT HARM NORTHERN FORESTS. NRDC'S EFFORTS IN INDIA ALSO ADVANCED ITS ACTIVITIES TO PROTECT POPULATIONS FROM THE DANGERS OF EXTREME HEAT. WITH RECORD-BREAKING TEMPERATURES TAKING A DEVASTATING TOLL ON HUMAN HEALTH ESPECIALLY IN INDIA, THE COUNTRY'S NATIONAL DISASTER MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY TOOK STEPS TO COORDINATE ON IMPROVING PREPAREDNESS THROUGH WORKSHOPS AND DISCUSSIONS AND IDENTIFYING ACTIONABLE HEAT SOLUTIONS THROUGH STATE- AND CITY-LEVEL HEAT ACTION PLANS, EARLY WARNING SYSTEMS, AND BUILT ENVIRONMENT ENHANCEMENTS. NRDC BROUGHT ATTENTION TO THE BENEFITS OF USING STATISTICS TO LINK HEATWAVE EARLY WARNING SYSTEM TO HEALTH BENCHMARKS, AND THE NEED FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO BE ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN POLICY PREPARATION. SIMILARLY, THE STATE OF UTTAR PRADESH PREPARED AND PRESENTED A LONG-TERM HEAT RESILIENCE PLAN WITH NRDC AND OTHER KEY PARTNERS. IT INCLUDES A NEW POLICY WHICH AIMS TO MITIGATE THE IMPACTS OF HEAT STRESS BY ADAPTIVE MEASURES AND RESILIENCE-BUILDING MANDATES, AND INCLUDES MEASURES SUCH AS COOLING TECHNOLOGIES IN GOVERNMENT, EDUCATIONAL AND HEALTHCARE BUILDINGS; INCORPORATING PASSIVE AND ENERGY-EFFICIENT COOLING SOLUTIONS; WAYS TO MONITOR FOR QUALITY; AND COORDINATION AMONG GOVERNMENT, PRIVATE SECTORS, RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS AND COMMUNITIES. IN ONGOING WORK TO REDUCE COAL AND PROMOTE TRANSITION TO CLEANER SOURCES OF ENERGY IN CHINA, NRDC SHARED INFORMATION AND KNOWLEDGE WITH POLICYMAKERS AND INDUSTRY EXPERTS IN VARIOUS LOCALITIES. THIS INCLUDED AN EVENT TO EXPLORE PATHWAYS FOR SHANXI PROVINCE - THE COUNTRY'S LARGEST COAL PRODUCER - TO REDUCE ITS RELIANCE ON FOSSIL FUELS; THE SHARING OF INSIGHTS ON POLLUTION REDUCTIONS IN HENAN PROVINCE; AND THE ORGANIZING OF AN EXPERT DIALOGUE IN PHASING OUT COAL IN SHANDONG PROVINCE.

WE WORK TO RESTORE THE INTEGRITY OF THE ELEMENTS THAT SUSTAIN LIFE - AIR, LAND, AND WATER TO DEFEND ENDANGERED NATURAL PLACES AND COMMUNITIES. WE INTEND TO ESTABLISH SUSTAINABILITY AND GOOD STEWARDSHIP OF THE EARTH AS CENTRAL ETHICAL IMPERATIVES OF HUMAN SOCIETY. WE STRIVE TO PROTECT NATURE TO ADVANCE THE LONG-TERM WELFARE OF PRESENT AND FUTURE GENERATIONS AND FOR ITS INTRINSIC VALUE. WE WORK TO FOSTER THE FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT OF ALL PEOPLE TO HAVE A VOICE IN DECISIONS THAT AFFECT THEIR ENVIRONMENT. ULTIMATELY, NRDC STRIVES TO HELP CREATE A NEW WAY OF LIFE FOR HUMANKIND, ONE THAT CAN BE SUSTAINED INDEFINITELY WITHOUT FOULING OR DEPLETING THE RESOURCES THAT SUPPORT ALL LIFE ON EARTH. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS THIS PAST FISCAL YEAR, NRDC CONTINUED ITS WORK TO PROTECT HUMAN HEALTH, BIODIVERSITY, AND THE ENVIRONMENT IN THE UNITED STATES AND ABROAD. OUR PROGRAMS, LITIGATION, SCIENCE, ADVOCACY, AND COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENTS WORK TOGETHER TO ENSURE THE RIGHTS OF ALL PEOPLE TO THE AIR, THE WATER, AND THE WILD. NRDC HAS THREE KEY PROGRAMMATIC AREAS: (1) AVERTING THE MOST DANGEROUS IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE, (2) ADVOCATING FOR THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE AND THRIVING COMMUNITIES, AND (3) CONSERVING NATURE AND PROTECTING WILDLIFE. EACH PROGRAM'S HIGHLIGHTS ARE COVERED BELOW IN DESCENDING ORDER OF SPENDING. THIS SUMMARY ALSO HIGHLIGHTS THE EFFORTS OF NRDC'S INTERNATIONAL PROGRAM. CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE: NRDC'S CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE WORK AIMS TO URGENTLY REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS TO A LEVEL CONSISTENT WITH LIMITING CLIMATE CHANGE TO A 1.5-DEGREE CELSIUS INCREASE PATHWAY BY 2050, IN ACCORDANCE WITH GUIDANCE FROM THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGE. THIS CATEGORY BROADLY CONSISTS OF WORKING TOWARD THE RELATED GOALS OF ADVANCING CLEAN ENERGY AND CUTTING HARMFUL EMISSIONS. NRDC FOCUSES MUCH OF ITS EFFORTS ON DRIVING SYSTEMIC CHANGE ON CLEAN ENERGY; IN PARTICULAR, WE WORK WITH VARIOUS LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT - FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL - TO SPEED THE TRANSITION OFF FOSSIL FUELS THROUGH LITIGATION, EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND ADVOCACY. THE MOST NOTEWORTHY HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS PAST YEAR INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: IN A BIG STEP FORWARD IN PREVENTING THE HARMS OF POLLUTION AND DELIVERING SIGNIFICANT ECONOMIC BENEFITS TO THE COUNTRY, THE U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA) RELEASED NEW RULES TO CLEAN UP THE TAILPIPE POLLUTION FOR PASSENGER CARS, SUVS, AND PICKUP TRUCKS ON OUR ROADS. THESE NEW STANDARDS BUILD OFF PAST TAILPIPE EMISSION STANDARDS THAT HAVE STEADILY REDUCED POLLUTION FROM VEHICLES. THE NEW REGULATIONS, SLATED TO AFFECT ALL NEW PASSENGER VEHICLES STARTING IN THE 2027 MODEL YEAR, PROMISE SIGNIFICANT BENEFITS SUCH AS CUMULATIVE REDUCTION OF CARBON BY OVER 7 BILLION METRIC TONS BY 2055 BY EPA ESTIMATES. THESE RULES WILL PROVIDE $2.1 TRILLION DOLLARS OF NET SOCIETAL BENEFITS, WITH $247 BILLION IN DIRECT DRIVER BENEFITS AND $240 BILLION STEMMING FROM HEALTH BENEFITS FROM 2027-2055. FOR THESE EFFORTS, NRDC HELPED DEVELOP TECHNICAL COMMENTS AND ANALYSIS FOR STRONG RULES, AS WELL AS PUBLIC EDUCATION AND ADVOCACY AND BUILDING COALITION SUPPORT. THE EPA ALSO FINALIZED STANDARDS TO LIMIT CARBON POLLUTION FROM POWER PLANTS, WHICH ENSURE THAT THE POWER SECTOR DELIVERS POTENTIAL CARBON REDUCTIONS COST EFFECTIVELY, AND THAT UTILITIES PURSUE CLEAN ENERGY INVESTMENTS THAT BENEFIT AMERICANS' WALLETS, HEALTH, AND THE ENVIRONMENT. NRDC PROVIDED RESEARCH, SUBMITTED COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS ON EPA'S PROPOSAL, AND ADVOCATED FOR AND PROPOSED COMMON-SENSE MEASURES SUCH AS UPDATING NITROUS OXIDE AND HAZARDOUS AIR POLLUTANT STANDARDS FOR COMBUSTION TURBINES UNDER THE CLEAN AIR ACT. ADDITIONALLY, FOLLOWING YEARS OF EDUCATION AND ADVOCACY BY NRDC AND PARTNERS, THE U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION ADOPTED A HIGHLY PUBLICIZED RULE REQUIRING PUBLIC COMPANIES TO MAKE PUBLIC DISCLOSURES REGARDING CLIMATE EMISSIONS. STANDARDIZED DISCLOSURES PROVIDING RELIABLE AND COMPARABLE INFORMATION ON EMISSIONS WILL ALLOW INVESTORS TO RESPOND - THROUGH PURCHASES AND SALES OF CORPORATE STOCKS AND BONDS - TO THE RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES PUBLIC COMPANIES FACE IN THE COUNTRY, AND HELP CAPITAL MARKETS REALLOCATE CAPITAL AWAY FROM POLLUTION-INTENSE ACTIVITIES TOWARD MORE RESILIENT ONES. FURTHER AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL, THE FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION (FERC) ANNOUNCED ITS LONG-AWAITED REGIONAL TRANSMISSION RULE, WHICH SETS THE STANDARDS FOR THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT OF NEW TRANSMISSION LINES THAT CAN IMPROVE RELIABILITY AND AFFORDABILITY BY BRINGING SIGNIFICANT ENERGY RESOURCES ONLINE. IT ESTABLISHED ROBUST NEW STANDARDS FOR PLANNING AND DEVELOPING TRANSMISSION INFRASTRUCTURE ACROSS THE COUNTRY, AS WELL AS THE FAIR ALLOCATION OF COSTS FOR LARGE-SCALE PROJECTS. WITH EXTREME WEATHER DISASTERS POSING GROWING THREATS TO THE POWER GRID, THE RULE WILL HELP SHAPE A GRID THAT OPTIMIZES THE CAPABILITIES OF CLEAN ENERGY. THERE WERE NOTABLE ADVANCEMENTS IN OUR WORK AT THE STATE LEVEL. COLORADO, FOR EXAMPLE, TOOK BIG STEPS TOWARD A TRANSITION TOWARD A CLEANER ENERGY FUTURE. FIRST, COLORADO OFFICIALS ADOPTED A NEW CLEAN CARS POLICY, WHICH AIMS TO PROVIDE RESIDENTS EXPANDED OPTIONS FOR ELECTRIC AND HYBRID VEHICLES, REDUCE POLLUTANTS LIKE NITROGEN OXIDE, AND MAKE THE ELECTRICITY GRID MORE RELIABLE AND LOWER UTILITY BILLS FOR EVERYONE. SECOND, GOVERNOR JARED POLIS SIGNED A BILL MODERNIZING THE STATE'S GRID PLANNING, WHICH WILL HELP CREATE JOBS AND PROMOTE A STRONG WORKFORCE, SUPPORT ITS LARGEST UTILITY IN MEETING CUSTOMER DEMANDS IN A TIMELY MANNER, AND BOOST AIR QUALITY. IN OTHER STATES IN THE WEST, NEW MEXICO SIGNED INTO LAW FOUR KEY MEASURES THAT WILL HELP NEW MEXICANS WITH NEW JOB OPPORTUNITIES, IMPROVE PEOPLE'S HEALTH, AND ADVANCE CLEAN ENERGY. THE KEY MEASURES INCLUDE THE STATE BUDGET WHICH CONTAINS CLEAN ENERGY TAX CREDITS TO HELP PEOPLE BUY NEW AND USED ELECTRIC VEHICLES, SUPPORT THE EXPANSION OF GEOTHERMAL ENERGY, AND INSTALL ADVANCED ENERGY EQUIPMENT IN MANUFACTURING BUSINESSES. IN ADDITION, THE APPROVAL OF A WORKFORCE PILOT PROGRAM, WHICH PROVIDES STIPENDS TO LOW-INCOME WORKERS ENROLLED IN TIME-BOUND WORKFORCE TRAINING PROGRAMS, WILL HELP SUPPORT SUSTAINABLE JOBS. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES NRDC WORKS TO CHANGE SYSTEMS THAT IMPACT PEOPLE DIRECTLY AND INDIRECTLY - FROM ADDRESSING UNSAFE DRINKING WATER SYSTEMS TO DECREASING CHEMICALS IN CONSUMER PRODUCTS TO ADVOCATING FOR INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS. THESE EFFORTS SPAN A WIDE RANGE OF ACTIVITIES INCLUDING ADVOCATING FOR COMMUNITIES THAT CONTINUE TO BEAR DISPROPORTIONATE IMPACTS OF HARM; ADDRESSING TOXIC CHEMICALS AND PESTICIDES IN OUR ENVIRONMENT IN FOOD, AIR, AND WATER; AND PROMOTING RESILIENCE AND HEALTH FOR ALL, ON LOCAL, STATE, REGIONAL, AND NATIONAL LEVELS. KEY HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS PAST YEAR ARE AS FOLLOWS: NRDC MADE NOTABLE PROGRESS IN PROTECTING COMMUNITIES AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL THIS PAST FISCAL YEAR. ONE EXAMPLE OF THIS EFFORT IS THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (DOT) FINALLY MOVING TO SUSPEND A RULE THAT ALLOWED THE TRANSPORT OF LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS (LNG) BY RAIL ACROSS THE COUNTRY WITHOUT A SPECIAL PERMIT. TRANSPORTING LNG BY RAIL PRESENTS A TREMENDOUS RISK TO PUBLIC SAFETY AND HEALTH, EXPOSING COMMUNITIES TO FIERY EXPLOSIONS AND TOXIC CLOUDS. THIS ISSUE IS PARTICULARLY URGENT FOR COMMUNITIES IN THE NORTHEAST, WHERE A GAS DEVELOPER IS PUSHING FOR A MASSIVE PROJECT INVOLVING THE TRANSPORT OF LNG ACROSS 200 MILES VIA TRAINS AND TRUCKS FROM WYALUSING, PENNSYLVANIA, TO GIBBSTOWN, NEW JERSEY, AND PUTTING NEARLY TWO MILLION LIVES AT RISK. IN NRDC'S ENDEAVORS TO PROTECT COMMUNITIES FROM THE HEALTH HAZARDS OF TOXIC CHEMICALS, THE EPA ANNOUNCED A RULE TO REGULATE SIX PER- OR POLYFLUOROALKYL SUBSTANCES, ALSO KNOWN AS PFAS OR "FOREVER" CHEMICALS, IN DRINKING WATER. THESE ARE THE FIRST NEW STANDARDS THAT EPA HAS ISSUED WITHOUT CONGRESSIONAL INTERVENTION FOR A DRINKING WATER CONTAMINANT IN MORE THAN A QUARTER CENTURY. THESE NEW DRINKING WATER STANDARDS ADDRESS FOUR NEWER PFAS CHEMICALS IN ADDITION TO THE TWO LEGACY PFAS (PFOA AND PFOS), AND AS MANY AS 105 MILLION PEOPLE IN THE US WILL BENEFIT. NRDC WORKED IN COALITION WITH FRONTLINE PARTNERS AND OTHER GROUPS TO PROVIDE SCIENTIFIC, LEGAL, AND ECONOMIC ANALYSES TO SUPPORT THE NEED FOR STRICT DRINKING WATER REGULATIONS AGAINST THIS GROUP OF PERSISTENT, WIDESPREAD, AND TOXIC CHEMICALS. IN A BIG STEP FORWARD FOR SAFE WATER ACROSS THE COUNTRY, AND FOLLOWING YEARS OF EFFORTS WITH PARTNERS FROM STATE GOVERNMENTS TO LOCAL COMMUNITIES, THE EPA PROPOSED TO MANDATE REPLACEMENT OF EVERY LEAD PIPE IN THE UNITED STATES, IN MOST CASES WITHIN THE NEXT 10 YEARS. THE EPA'S PROPOSED LEAD AND COPPER RULE IMPROVEMENTS SET THE STAGE FOR HOW THE ENTIRE NATION WILL ADDRESS LEAD IN DRINKING WATER FOR YEARS TO COME. NRDC'S WORK - INCLUDING ISSUING A REPORT SHOWING THAT REMOVING EVERY LEAD PIPE IN THE NATION WOULD RESULT IN HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN HEALTH AND ECONOMIC BENEFITS - CONTRIBUTED TO THE IMPROVEMENTS TO THIS RULE. MORE LOCALLY IN MICHIGAN, NRDC CONTINUED ITS EFFORTS TO ENSURE SAFE DRINKING WATER FOR RESIDENTS OF FLINT. IN A HUGE STEP FOLLOWING NEARLY A DECADE OF ACTIVITIES WITH PARTNERS TO HOLD THE CITY OF FLINT ACCOUNTABLE AND TO PROVIDE ITS COMMUNITIES WITH SAFE WATER, A FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT IN DETROIT HELD THE CITY IN CONTEMPT FOR VIOLATING A FEBRUARY 2023 COURT ORDER REQUIRING THE CITY TO REACH CERTAIN MILESTONES IN ITS LEAD PIPE REPLACEMENT PROGRAM. FLINT HAD ORIGINALLY AGREED TO REPLACE ITS LEAD PIPES BY EARLY 2020, BUT IT STILL HAD NOT COMPLETED THAT WORK, AND IT HAD NOT ADDRESSED THE DAMAGE FOR ALMOST 2,000 HOMES CAUSED BY THE LEAD PIPE REPLACEMENT PROGRAM AT THE TIME OF THE COURT ORDER. IN MAY 2024, THE STATE OF MICHIGAN AGREED TO TAKE OVER THE MANAGEMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE REMAINING WORK ON THE PIPE REPLACEMENT ON THE CITY, WITH A NEW DEADLINE TO BE COMPLETED BY AUGUST 2025. IN A MAJOR WIN FOR PUBLIC HEALTH IN CALIFORNIA, NRDC SECURED A LEGAL VICTORY IN A LONGSTANDING LAWSUIT OVER THE PORT OF LOS ANGELES'S FAILURE TO MITIGATE SIGNIFICANT AIR POLLUTION FROM ITS CHINA SHIPPING TERMINAL. THIS RULING REPRESENTS THE CULMINATION OF MORE THAN TWENTY YEARS OF ADVOCACY BY NRDC AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS, INCLUDING SECURING DISCLOSURE OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND PROVIDING COMMUNITIES WITH LEGAL REPRESENTATION. THE LARGEST PORT IN NORTH AMERICA THAT GENERATES IMMENSE AMOUNTS OF AIR POLLUTION THAT DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTS COMMUNITIES THAT LIVE AROUND IT, THE PORT OF LOS ANGELES IS NOW REQUIRED TO ADOPT ADDITIONAL MITIGATION MEASURES AND DEPLOY ZERO EMISSION TECHNOLOGIES TO ADDRESS THE AIR POLLUTION AT THE TERMINAL. WE ALSO SAW PROGRESS IN COMMUNITIES IN OHIO, WHERE NRDC'S EFFORTS TO BUILD A PUBLIC BASE OF SUPPORT FOR SOLAR PROJECTS BORE FRUIT. TO PROTECT BIRCH, A 300-MEGAWATT SOLAR FARM PLANNED FOR ALLEN AND AUGLAIZE COUNTIES THAT WOULD GENERATE CLEAN ENERGY FOR 55,000 HOMES PER YEAR AND GOOD-PAYING JOBS, NRDC TEAMED UP WITH THE INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF ELECTRICAL WORKERS LOCAL 32 IN A JOINT LEGAL FILING TO ASK THE SUPREME COURT OF OHIO TO REVERSE A DECISION BY THE OHIO POWER SITING BOARD, WHICH FOUND THAT BIRCH WAS NOT IN THE "PUBLIC INTEREST AND THEREBY COULD NOT MOVE FORWARD. THIS FILING HAD THE BACKING OF A BROAD COALITION INCLUDING THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, INDEPENDENT POWER PRODUCERS, STATE-BASED MANUFACTURING COMPANIES, LOCAL CITIZENS, AND ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS. FURTHER, BUILDING ON NRDC'S GROWING WORK TO SAFEGUARD COMMUNITIES AGAINST THE INCREASING RISKS OF FLOODING, FLOOD RISK NOTIFICATION LAW BECAME EFFECTIVE IN NEW JERSEY, A FLOOD RISK DISCLOSURE LAW WENT INTO EFFECT IN NEW YORK STATE, AND NORTH CAROLINA TOOK FORMAL STEPS FOR HOME BUYERS BE ABLE TO RECEIVE INFORMATION ABOUT A PROPERTY'S FLOOD HISTORY. IN NEW JERSEY, THE LAW REQUIRES THE DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION SUCH AS PRIOR HISTORY OF FLOOD DAMAGE, WATER SEEPAGE, OR POOLED WATER DUE TO A NATURAL FLOOD EVENT, AND IF A CLAIM FOR FLOOD DAMAGE TO THE PROPERTY WITH ANY INSURANCE PROVIDER HAS BEEN FILED; IT ALSO REQUIRES OWNERS AND LANDLORDS TO DISCLOSE INFORMATION REGARDING FLOOD HAZARDS TO RENTERS. SIMILARLY IN NEW YORK, ITS NEW LAW REQUIRES SELLERS TO DISCLOSE TO POTENTIAL BUYERS ANY FLOOD ISSUES WITH THEIR HOME. ALSO, NORTH CAROLINA PROCEEDED WITH FINALIZING AN AMENDMENT THAT WILL DEMAND FLOOD RISK AND HISTORY TO POTENTIAL BUYERS. THESE ADVANCEMENTS POINT TO A GENERAL DEMAND FROM HOME BUYERS AND RENTERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND THEIR RIGHT TO KNOW REGARDING FLOOD RISK. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C WILDLIFE AND WILDLANDS NRDC PROTECTS WILDLIFE AND UNSPOILED LANDS AND WATERS FROM INAPPROPRIATE AND UNLAWFUL INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, COMMERCIAL EXPLOITATION, AND POLLUTION. WE PARTNER WITH RANCHERS, FARMERS, AND THE GOVERNMENT TO PROMOTE SOLUTIONS THAT HELP WILD PREDATORS COEXIST WITH LIVESTOCK AND PEOPLE. WE PUSH FOR INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS TO PROTECT ELEPHANTS, RHINOS, SHARKS, AND OTHER ANIMALS FROM BEING KILLED FOR TRADE. AND WE FIGHT TO KEEP RECKLESS OIL AND GAS DRILLING OUT OF WILD AREAS, FROM THE ATLANTIC OCEAN TO THE CANADIAN BOREAL FOREST. THE MAIN FY24 ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND HIGHLIGHTS IN THIS CATEGORY ARE AS FOLLOWS: NRDC SAW A NUMBER OF KEY ADVANCEMENTS IN OUR ENDEAVORS TO PROTECT WILDLANDS IN THE WEST. FIRST, A NEW MONUMENT DESIGNATION ESTABLISHING THE BAAJ-NWAAVJO I'TAH KUKVENI, OR ANCESTRAL FOOTPRINTS OF THE GRAND CANYON NATIONAL MONUMENT, IN ARIZONA RECOGNIZED THE HISTORY OF THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND NATIONS IN THE AREA WHILE PROTECTING KEY SPECIES SUCH AS BALD EAGLES, BIGHORN SHEEP, ELK, AS WELL AS ITS WATERWAYS THAT CONNECT TO THE COLORADO RIVER. THIS DESIGNATION OF CO-STEWARDSHIP WITH TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS WAS AIDED BY STRONG ADVOCACY THAT BUILT A STRONG COALITION OF LAWMAKERS, HUNTERS, ANGLERS, AND BUSINESS OWNERS. IN OTHER NOTABLE DEVELOPMENTS, THE BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT FINALIZED ITS PUBLIC LANDS RULE, WHICH WILL HELP THE AGENCY BALANCE THE COMPLEX AND VARIED NEEDS OF ALL PUBLIC LAND USERS IN PROTECTING INTACT HEALTHY LANDSCAPES, RESTORING LANDSCAPES BACK TO HEALTH, AND ENSURING DECISION-MAKING IS BASED ON SCIENCE AND DATA. ADDITIONALLY IN THE WEST, COLORADO BECAME THE FIRST STATE TO RESTORE PROTECTIONS FOR WETLANDS AND STREAMS FOLLOWING THE SUPREME COURT'S SACKETT VS. EPA DECISION, WHICH REDEFINED THE BODIES OF WATER THAT CLEAN WATER ACT OF 1970 PROTECTS, AND THE RULING LEFT STATES AS THE PRIMARY SAFEGUARD AGAINST UNREGULATED INDUSTRIAL AND MUNICIPAL POLLUTION IN VULNERABLE BODIES OF WATER AND WATERWAYS. AFTER THE DECISION, NRDC WORKED IN COALITION TO SUPPORT SUCCESSFUL STATE EFFORTS TO SAFEGUARD WETLANDS AND WATERWAYS. IN NEW YORK STATE, NRDC'S ADVOCACY WAS CRITICAL TO THE PASSAGE OF THE BIRDS AND THE BEES PROTECTION ACT, THE FIRST OF ITS KIND IN THE COUNTRY. THE NEW LAW CURBS THE USE OF NEONICOTINOID PESTICIDES - ONE OF THE MOST ECOLOGICALLY DESTRUCTIVE PESTICIDES SINCE DDT THAT POSES RISKS TO BEES, POLLINATORS, AND HUMANS - BY PROHIBITING THE WASTEFUL APPLICATIONS AS COATINGS ON CORN, SOYBEANS, WHEAT SEEDS, AS WELL AS USAGE ON LAWNS AND GARDENS. WHEN FULLY IMPLEMENTED, THIS LEGISLATION IS EXPECTED TO ELIMINATE UP TO 90 PERCENT OF THE NEONICS ENTERING THE STATE'S LANDS AND WATER SUPPLIES ANNUALLY. NRDC PROVIDED CRITICAL SCIENTIFIC AND LEGAL RESEARCH AND RESOURCES TO KEY STAKEHOLDERS, AND CONDUCTED PUBLIC EDUCATION AND OUTREACH CAMPAIGNS TO BUILD PUBLIC SUPPORT. IN THE LATEST UPDATE IN NRDC'S EFFORTS TO HOLD A PHARMACEUTICAL/CHEMICAL COMPANY ACCOUNTABLE IN CLEANING UP MERCURY CONTAMINATION FROM MAINE'S PENOBSCOT RIVER, THE TRUSTEE DIRECTING REMEDIATION WORK ANNOUNCED THE FIRST SUITE OF 13 BENEFICIAL ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECTS THAT ARE BEING FUNDED FROM THE SETTLEMENT OF THE CASE IN 2022. IN ADDITION TO THE $150 MILLION DEDICATED TO MERCURY REMEDIATION, THE SETTLEMENT PROVIDED $20 MILLION FOR THE PROJECTS THAT WILL IMPROVE FISH PASSAGE AND HELP RESTORE NATIVE FISH POPULATIONS, PROTECT AND RESTORE SENSITIVE WETLANDS, PROVIDE NEW RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES ALONG THE RIVER - THE LONGEST RIVER IN THE STATE - AND HELP REDUCE HUMAN EXPOSURES TO MERCURY AND OTHER TOXINS. THE CASE BEGAN IN 2000 TO HOLD MALLINCKRODT ACCOUNTABLE TO CLEAN UP WIDESPREAD MERCURY CONTAMINATION IN THE PENOBSCOT RIVER, AND REACHED A SETTLEMENT TWO DECADES LATER THAT REQUIRES THE COMPANY TO PAY $187 MILLION AND UP TO $267 MILLION TO INDEPENDENT TRUSTS THAT ARE FUNDING AND DIRECTING REMEDIATION ACTIVITIES.
