PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS	PART III, LINE 4 In the full fiscal year following the commencement of the new presidential administration, NRDC has continued its fight in a cross-institutional way, and in concert with all our partners and member activists against persistent attacks on the environment from the federal government. Weve worked to defend our bedrock environmental laws and our public health safeguards, as well as lay the groundwork for building a lasting movement to protect our air, our water, our climate, and our communities. In the past year, NRDC has been working to move from the formal adoption of the new Strategic Plan to the implementation phase. The four key areas of focus include: 1) Averting the most dangerous impacts of climate change, 2) Advocating for the health of people and thriving communities, 3) Conserving nature and protecting wildlife, and 4) Building a groundswell of people that give power and voice to our mission. In this transition phase, we have been refocusing our mission to reflect the most urgent environmental challenges. THE SUMMARY BELOW HIGHLIGHTS NRDCS ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN THE SIX KEY PROGRAM AREAS THAT WERE IN PLACE DURING FISCAL YEAR 2018. IT HIGHLIGHTS THE MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN THE TOP THREE MAJOR PROGRAM AREAS IN ORDER OF SPENDING: CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE, PROTECT OUR HEALTH, AND WILDLIFE AND WILDLANDS. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS PROVIDED ON ACHIEVEMENTS IN THE THREE REMAINING FY18 PROGRAM AREAS: SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES, SAFE AND SUFFICIENT WATER, AND REVIVE OUR OCEANS. PART III LINE 4A CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE: $59,748,245 NRDC'S CLIMATE AND CLEAN ENERGY PROGRAM AIMS TO REDUCE GLOBAL CARBON EMISSIONS TO AT LEAST 35 PERCENT BELOW 1990 LEVELS BY 2030, AN AMBITIOUS TARGET TO PREVENT DANGEROUS LEVELS OF FUTURE GLOBAL TEMPERATURE RISE. IN FY18, NRDC FOCUSED ON DEFENDING THE CLIMATE FROM THE ROLLBACKS AND ASSAULTS OF THE ADMINISTRATIONS PRO-POLLUTER AGENDA, WHILE ALSO ADVANCING CLIMATE ACTION IN THE ABSENCE OF FEDERAL LEADERSHIP FOLLOWING THE FORMAL COMMITMENT BY PRESIDENT TRUMP TO WITHDRAW UNITED STATES PARTICIPATION FROM THE 2015 PARIS CLIMATE ACCORD. WE WORKED WITH A MULTITUDE OF PARTNERS NATIONALLY-FROM CITIES, STATES, REGIONS, AND OTHER LIKE MINDED LEADERSHIP-AS WELL AS INTERNATIONALLY. OUR TOP CLIMATE AND ENERGY ACCOMPLISHMENT MILESTONES INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING IN EACH CATEGORY: LITIGATION IN RESPONSE TO A LAWSUIT BROUGHT BY NRDC AND PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDING THE STATES OF CALIFORNIA AND NEW MEXICO, THE FEDERAL COURTS REINSTATED SAFEGUARDS AGAINST METHANE, A POTENT GREENHOUSE GAS, RELEASED DURING OIL AND GAS EXTRACTION. THIS WIN HELPS PROTECT THE SAFEGUARDS THAT REQUIRE OIL AND GAS COMPANIES ON PUBLIC LANDS TO CAPTURE LEAKED METHANE, UPDATE OUTDATED EQUIPMENT AND COME UP WITH PLANS TO REDUCE METHANE WASTE. THIS VICTORY FOLLOWED MULTIPLE DEVELOPMENTS OVER THE YEAR: TWO ATTEMPTS BY THEN-INTERIOR SECRETARY RYAN ZINKE TO STAY THE BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENTS METHANE AND WASTE PREVENTION RULE, WHICH CONTAINS CRITICAL MEASURES TO DECREASE WASTE OF NATURAL RESOURCES ON PUBLIC LANDS. A FEDERAL COURT REJECTED THE FIRST ATTEMPT, AND ISSUED A PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION FOR THE SECOND ATTEMPT, WITH THE RULE AND ITS PROTECTIONS GOING BACK INTO FULL EFFECT. IN RESPONSE TO A LAWSUIT BY NRDC AND PARTNERS, A COURT REJECTED THE ATTEMPT BY THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION TO INDEFINITELY DELAY PENALTIES ON AUTOMAKERS FOR VIOLATING FUEL ECONOMY STANDARDS. THE DECISION BY THE SECOND CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS OVERTURNED THE ILLEGAL DELAY AND RESTORED THE PENALTIES FOR AUTOMAKERS THAT FAIL TO MEET MODERN FUEL ECONOMY STANDARD, AND REQUIRES THEM TO CLEAN UP THEIR FLEETS TO PROTECT THE CLIMATE FROM EXCESS EMISSIONS, AS WELL AS PROTECT THE HEALTH OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE PUBLIC. DEFENDING THE CLIMATE AND ENVIRONMENT OUR CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE WORK ALSO INCLUDED DEFENDING THE CLIMATE AND ENVIRONMENT FROM DIRTY ENERGY DEVELOPMENT. NRDCS EFFORTS TO TACKLE DIRTY ENERGY SPANNED ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARIES. ON THE FEDERAL LEVEL IN THE ONGOING FIGHT AGAINST TAR SANDS DEVELOPMENT, NRDC SUED THE U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT FOR ISSUING A US-CANADA CROSS-BORDER PERMIT FOR THE KEYSTONE XL TAR SANDS PIPELINE WITHOUT A CURRENT REVIEW OF THREATS, WHICH VIOLATED FEDERAL LAW. THIS LAWSUIT FOLLOWED A DECISION BY A DISTRICT COURT IN MONTANA REJECTING THE ADMINISTRATIONS ATTEMPT TO DISMISS ANOTHER NRDC LAWSUIT OVER THE ILLEGAL APPROVAL OF THE KEYSTONE XL PIPELINE ON THE GROUNDS OF PRESIDENTIAL AUTHORITY. OTHER DEVELOPMENTS ACROSS THE U.S.TARGETING DIRTY ENERGY INCLUDED THE NEW YORK STATE LEGISLATURE PASSING A BILL TO ALLOW THE STATE TO ESTABLISH "TANKER AVOIDANCE ZONESPROHIBITING BARGES FROM ANCHORING IN SENSITIVE HABITATS AND COMMUNITIES ON THE HUDSON RIVER. NRDC ALSO PLAYED A CRITICAL ROLE IN THE PROCESS OF A SETTLEMENT BY THE WASHINGTON UTILITIES AND TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION THAT ADDRESSES ISSUES RELATED TO THE CLEANUP OF FOUR COAL-FIRED GENERATING UNITS AT THE COLSTRIP POWER PLANT. LATER IN THE FISCAL YEAR, THE STATE ALSO PASSED SPILL RESPONSE LEGISLATION FOCUSED ON TAR SANDS TRANSPORT IN ITS WATERS. ADVANCING CLEAN ENERGY NRDC WORKS TO ACCELERATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF RENEWABLE ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE AND CLEAN ENERGY JOBS. IN THE U.S.,THIS WORK IN THE PAST FISCAL YEAR INCLUDED THE SUCCESSFUL ADOPTION BY CALIFORNIA OF A NEW BUILDING ENERGY CODE THAT WILL MAKE MOST NEW HOMES ELECTRICITY-NEUTRAL BEGINNING IN 2020-A RESULT, IN PART, OF NRDC'S LONG-STANDING ADVOCACY. CALIFORNIA ALSO PROPOSED LEGISLATION AND SUCCESSFULLY EXTENDED ITS CAP AND TRADE PROGRAM TO 2030 WITH 2/3 VOTE, ALONG WITH A COMPANION BILL TO IMPROVE AIR QUALITY; NRDC AND ITS PARTNERS WORKED ON DEVELOPING AND SUPPORTING THIS OUTCOME. COLORADO HAS ALSO EMERGED AS A CLEAN ENERGY LEADER IN IN FY18, DUE IN NO SMALL PART TO NRDC'S ADVOCACY. COLORADO JOINED THE U.S. CLIMATE ALLIANCE, A GROUP OF 14 STATES STILL COMMITTED TO MEETING THE PARIS AGREEMENT GOALS WITHOUT FEDERAL ACTION, AND ALSO MADE A COMMITMENT TO STRINGENT STATE-WIDE EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS, SUCH AS CUTTING CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS FROM THE ELECTRICITY SECTOR BY 25 PERCENT BY 2025 AND 35 PERCENT BY 2030 FROM 2012 LEVELS. AFTER A YEAR OF SUSTAINED NRDC ADVOCACY, THE STATE JOINED 12 OTHER STATES IN ADOPTING THE CALIFORNIA CLEAN CAR STANDARDS BY THE END OF THE YEAR, AND THE WORK CONTINUES IN ADVOCATING FOR A ZERO EMISSION VEHICLE REQUIREMENT FOR THE STATES CLEAN VEHICLE PROGRAM. IN OUR WORK TO FURTHER CURB FOSSIL FUEL POLLUTION ACROSS THE U.S., NRDC HAS BEEN ADVOCATING AND PROVIDING RESEARCH FOR THE REGIONAL GREENHOUSE GAS INITIATIVE (RGGI), A GROUP OF NINE NORTHEASTERN AND MID-ATLANTIC STATES-CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, MAINE, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW YORK, RHODE ISLAND AND VERMONT-WHICH PROPOSED A BOLD, BIPARTISAN PLAN TO LOWER THEIR POWER PLANT EMISSIONS BY AN ADDITIONAL 30 PERCENT BY 2030. RGGI PROVIDES A MODEL BY WHICH OTHER REGIONS CAN SET LIMITS ON CARBON POLLUTION WHILE CREATING JOBS AND PROVIDING COST SAVINGS TO CONSUMERS THROUGH ENERGY EFFICIENCY. ON CURBING FOSSIL FUELS AND ADVANCING CLEANER ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE IN URBAN CENTERS, NRDC FORMALLY BECAME THE TECHNICAL PARTNER FOR BLOOMBERG PHILANTHROPIES' AMERICAN CITIES CLIMATE CHALLENGE, SERVING AS A CORE SUPPORT ORGANIZATION TO PROVIDE OVERALL PROJECT STRATEGY, OUTREACH AND EDUCATION, STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT, ADVOCACY AND COORDINATION. NRDC WILL ALSO PROVIDE THE 20 WINNING CITIES ACCESS TO OTHER PARTNERS AND ORGANIZATIONS WITH EXPERTISE IN BUILDINGS AND TRANSPORTATION, BOTH MAJOR SOURCES OF CARBON EMISSIONS. INTERNATIONAL CLEAN ENERGY WORK NRDC CONTINUES TO WORK WITH OUR ACADEMIC AND CIVIL SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS IN CURBING FOSSIL FUELS AND ADVANCING CLEAN ENERGY GOALS. IN CHINA, NRDC'S CHINA COAL CAP PROJECT, A GROUP OF 20-PLUS LEADING CHINESE STAKEHOLDERS INCLUDING THINK TANKS, RESEARCH INSTITUTES, AND INDUSTRY ASSOCIATIONS THAT AIMS TO REDUCE CHINA'S COAL CONSUMPTION, HOSTED MULTIPLE CONFERENCES AND WORKSHOPS FOR INDUSTRY, RESEARCH INSTITUTES, COMPANIES, AND MEDIA ON THE RISING COAL CONSUMPTION IN CHINA, AND ISSUED A SET OF RECOMMENDATIONS BASED ON INTERNATIONAL BEST PRACTICES, OUR EXPERTISE, AND DETAILED RESEARCH REPORTS ON TOPICS SUCH AS CHINA'S CURRENT POLICIES ON ADDRESSING OVERCAPACITY ON COAL MINING INDUSTRY JOBS. IN INDIA, NRDC HAS WORKED TO PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS ON MOBILIZING FINANCE TO ACHIEVE THE COUNTRY'S PARIS TARGETS, AND HELPED THE STATE OF TELENGANA AND ITS CAPITAL HYDERABAD LAUNCH THE COUNTRY'S FIRST ONLINE SYSTEM FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY CODES FOR COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS, WHICH WAS MODELED AFTER NEW YORK CITY'S SYSTEM. IN LATIN AMERICA, CHILE BECAME THE FIRST GOVERNMENT IN THE AMERICAS TO RATIFY THE KIGALI AMENDMENT TO THE MONTREAL PROTOCOL, AFFIRMING NRDC'S WORK IN REDUCING HYDROFLUOROCARBONS (HFCS), A POTENT GREENHOUSE GAS.
PART III LINE 4B	PROTECT OUR HEALTH: $15,963,132 GETTING RID OF TOXIC CHEMICALS IN OUR ENVIRONMENT-IN THE FOOD WE EAT, THE AIR WE BREATHE, THE WATER WE DRINK, AND THE PRODUCTS WE BUY-HELPS PROTECT THE HEALTH OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. WHEN THE U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY AND U.S. FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION FAIL TO PROTECT AMERICANS, WORKERS, AND CHILDREN FROM DANGEROUS CHEMICALS, NRDC TAKES THEM TO COURT. WE FOUGHT FOR REFORMS THAT TOOK MILLIONS OF POUNDS OF THE MOST HARMFUL PESTICIDES OFF THE MARKET. AND WE TEAM UP WITH COMMUNITIES TO WIPE OUT INDOOR HEALTH HAZARDS, INCLUDING MOLD IN PUBLIC HOUSING. HERE ARE SOME KEY MILESTONES FROM THIS PAST FISCAL YEAR: NRDC'S WORK TO ENSURE CLEAN WATER FOR ALL COMMUNITIES SPANS ACROSS THE U.S., IN MULTIPLE CAPACITIES. NATIONALLY, NRDC WORKED TO PROTECT DRINKING WATER BY FILING COMMENTS OPPOSING EPA'S PROPOSAL TO REPEAL THE CLEAN WATER RULE, AND GALVANIZING SUPPORT AGAINST THE REPEAL FROM NRDC MEMBER ACTIVISTS. ON STATE LEVELS, WE WORKED EXTENSIVELY IN THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, WHERE SAFE DRINKING WATER ISSUES PERSIST YEARS AFTER THE CRISIS IN FLINT CAME TO LIGHT. THE WORK INCLUDED SUBMITTING COMMENTS ON THE DRAFT PROPOSAL AND THE PROPOSED REVISIONS OF THE STATE'S LEAD AND COPPER RULE, ADVOCATING FOR PROHIBITING PARTIAL LEAD SERVICE LINE REPLACEMENTS, USING COPPER PIPES, PUBLIC EDUCATION ON MATTERS RELATED TO LEAD, AND PROVIDING CORROSION CONTROL; CALLING ON GOVERNOR RICK SNYDER TO ESTABLISH A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO ADDRESS MICHIGAN,S DRINKING WATER ISSUES; AND FIGHTING AGAINST A BILL TO CREATE NEW OVERSIGHT PANELS WITH THE POWER TO OVERRIDE PERMITTING AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACTIONS OF STATE REGULATORS, WHICH WOULD PROVIDE SPECIAL INDUSTRY INTERESTS WITH UNDUE INFLUENCE AT THE EXPENSE OF PUBLIC HEALTH. OTHER STATE WORK FOR SAFE DRINKING WATER INCLUDED PUSHING FOR THE ILLINOIS STATE LEGISLATURE TO REPLACE LEAD SERVICE LINES WITH PROVISIONS FOR LOW-INCOME ASSISTANCE, URGING NEW YORK STATE TO REGULATE CONTAMINANTS KNOWN AS PFAS, WHICH ARE HARMFUL AND UBIQUITOUS IN WATER SUPPLIES, AND LAUNCHING PUBLIC AWARENESS CAMPAIGNS IN NORTH CAROLINA'S KEY LEGISLATIVE DISTRICTS AND METROPOLITAN AREAS THAT HAVE BEEN PLAGUED BY DRINKING WATER CONTAMINATION FROM INDUSTRIAL CHEMICALS. NRDC ALSO WORKS TO PROTECT CONSUMERS FROM DANGEROUS CHEMICALS IN THE ABSENCE OF NECESSARY GOVERNMENT REGULATION. FOLLOWING NRDC'S STEADFAST ADVOCACY, LOWE'S BECAME THE FIRST RETAILER TO BAN THE SALES OF PAINT REMOVERS THAT CONTAIN THE DEADLY CHEMICALS METHYLENE CHLORIDE AND NMP, WHICH HAVE BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR NEARLY 60 DEATHS. OUR ADVOCACY CONTINUES TO RAISE AWARENESS IN CONSUMERS, AS WELL AS BUSINESSES AND RETAILERS, UNTIL A FEDERAL BAN PROPOSED UNDER THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION IS ADOPTED BY THE CURRENT EPA. NRDC'S EFFORTS IN PROTECTING THE HEALTH OF COMMUNITIES ALSO INCLUDED CURBING OR STOPPING THE USE OF HARMFUL PESTICIDES. IN A WIN FOR PUBLIC HEALTH AND CONSUMER-DISCLOSURE LAW, A COURT RULED AGAINST THE AGRICULTURAL BIOTECHNOLOGY COMPANY MONSANTO AND UPHELD CALIFORNIA'S LISTING OF GLYPHOSATE-THE ACTIVE INGREDIENT IN THE COMPANY'S HERBICIDE ROUNDUP-AS A CARCINOGEN. NRDC LED A COALITION OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND LABOR GROUPS IN DEFENDING THE LISTING, OVER WHICH MONSANTO SUED. IN OTHER ONGOING PESTICIDE-RELATED WORK, NRDC PUSHED MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TO FOCUS ON SIGNIFICANT ACTIONS BY THE EPA REGARDING POLLINATORS, WHOSE HEALTH AND PLUMMETING POPULATIONS POSE FAR-REACHING CONSEQUENCES FOR ONE-THIRD OF THE FOOD HUMANS EAT.
PART III LINE 4C	WILDLIFE AND WILDLANDS: $15,015,106 NRDC PROTECTS WILDLIFE AND UNSPOILED LANDS FROM THE THREATS OF INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, COMMERCIAL EXPLOITATION, POLLUTION, AND CLIMATE CHANGE. WE PARTNER WITH RANCHERS, FARMERS, ENERGY COMPANIES, AND THE GOVERNMENT TO PROMOTE SOLUTIONS THAT HELP WILD PREDATORS COEXIST WITH LIVESTOCK AND PEOPLE. WE PUSH FOR INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS THAT SHIELD POLAR BEARS, ELEPHANTS, RHINOS, 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 BOREAL FOREST. OUR TOP FY18 ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND MILESTONES IN THIS CATEGORY CONSIST OF THE FOLLOWING: IN ONGOING EFFORTS TO DEFEND PUBLIC LANDS AND NATIONAL MONUMENTS, NRDC AND OUR PARTNERS FILED TWO LAWSUITS IN RESPONSE TO PRESIDENT TRUMP'S ILLEGAL ACTIONS ORDERING THE REVOCATION OF PROTECTIONS FOR GRAND STAIRCASE-ESCALANTE AND BEARS EARS NATIONAL MONUMENTS IN SOUTHERN UTAH. NRDC IS CONTINUING TO WORK TO DEFEND THESE MONUMENTS FROM THE ADMINISTRATION'S ACTIONS, WHICH AIM TO REDUCE THE SIZES OF BEARS EARS BY 85 PERCENT AND GRAND STAIRCASE-ESCALANTE BY 46 PERCENT-TOTALING MORE THAN TWO MILLION ACRES-TO BE SOLD TO OIL, GAS, AND OTHER EXTRACTIVE INDUSTRIES. FOR EXAMPLE, WE MARSHALLED OPPOSITION TO A NEW BILL THAT PROVIDES COVER FOR THE ILLEGAL ORDER TO DISMANTLE BEARS EARS, AND WORKED WITH SENATOR TOM UDALL (D-NM) WHO INTRODUCED A BILL TO PROTECT THE 51 MONUMENTS ESTABLISHED BY DIFFERENT PRESIDENTS UNDER THE ANTIQUITIES ACT SINCE 1996. IN OUR ONGOING QUEST TO PROTECT WILDLIFE INTERNATIONALLY, NRDC WORKED ON A NUMBER OF INITIATIVES TO PREVENT ANIMALS FROM FURTHERED BEING ENDANGERED OR BECOMING EXTINCT. AS PART OF OUR WORK TO SAVE VAQUITA PORPOISES FROM EXTINCTION-ONLY 15 REMAIN IN THE WORLD-WE SUED TO FORCE THE U.S. GOVERNMENT TO BAN MEXICAN SEAFOOD PRODUCTS CAUGHT WITH GILLNETS IN THE NORTHERN GULF OF CALIFORNIA; THESE GILLNETS ALSO CATCH VAQUITAS, WHICH DROWN IN THE NETS. EARLIER IN FY18, AS PART OF THE BOYCOTT MEXICAN SHRIMP CAMPAIGN, NRDC AND PARTNERS WORKED TO PRESSURE TRADER JOE'S TO STOP BUYING SHRIMP FROM MEXICO, TO WHICH TRADER JOES AGREED. NRDC ALSO ADVOCATED ON BEHALF OF WILDLIFE ON LAND. IN ADVANCING OUR WORK TO PROTECT ELEPHANTS THAT ARE POACHED AND KILLED FOR IVORY AND PREVENT FURTHER POPULATION DECLINE, NRDC SUPPORTED A PROPOSAL BY THE UNITED KINGDOM'S DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT, FOOD & RURAL AFFAIRS, TO BAN DOMESTIC IVORY-A SIGNIFICANT STEP FOR ONE OF THE LARGEST EXPORTERS OF ELEPHANT IVORY IN THE WORLD-AS WELL PROVIDE EXPERTISE TO THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT AND OTHER NGOS TO HELP CHINA FINALIZE ITS IVORY BAN. NRDC HAS ALSO BEEN CONTINUING TO WORK TO PROTECT PUBLIC LANDS FROM DIRTY ENERGY DEVELOPMENT ON MANY FRONTS, SUCH AS ADVOCATING FOR THE ARCTIC NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE, THE LAST WILD PLACE LEFT ON EARTH THAT IS BEING FAST-TRACKED FOR OIL DEVELOPMENT BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, THROUGH LEVERAGING KEY PARTNERSHIPS AND COMMUNICATIONS. IN FY18, NRDC WORKED WITH U.S. SENATE OFFICES AND BUILT PUBLIC AWARENESS ON PROTECTING THE ARCTIC, AS WELL AS ISSUING STRONG STATEMENTS, AND ORGANIZING OUR PARTNERS IN GOVERNMENT AND ON THE GROUND IN ALASKA FOR EVENTS SUCH AS A PUBLIC HEARING, A RALLY, TESTIFYING, AND MORE. SIMILARLY, NRDC WORKED TO AMPLIFY OPPOSITION FOR THE ADMINISTRATIONS FIVE-YEAR OFFSHORE OIL AND GAS LEASING PLAN, DELAY ACTION ON THE ONSHORE AND OFFSHORE DRILLING BILL, AND FILED COMMENTS TO OPPOSE NEW OFFSHORE LEASING IN THE ATLANTIC, ARCTIC, PACIFIC AND GULF OF MEXICO, INCLUDING 30,000 ACTIONS FROM NRDC MEMBERS AND ACTIVISTS. OTHER EFFORTS CONSISTED OF RELEASING REPORTS AND INTERACTIVE MAPS ON ALL THE NATIONAL MONUMENTS UNDER REVIEW AND THREAT, HIGHLIGHTING THE ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS OF AMERICAN LANDS AND WATERS.
PART III LINE 4D	SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES: $14,289,259 SAFE AND SUFFICIENT WATER: $9,765,185 REVIVE OUR OCEANS: $9,147,558
SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES	NRDC PROGRAMS HELP CREATE STRONG, JUST, AND RESILIENT COMMUNITIES IN CITIES AND SUBURBS, AND MAKING THEM HEALTHIER AND MORE SUSTAINABLE PLACES TO LIVE-BY WORKING TO LOWER ENERGY BILLS, IMPROVING TRANSPORTATION, INCREASING RESILIENCE, AND SUPPORTING THEM THROUGH ADVOCACY AND LITIGATION. NRDC'S FY18 ACHIEVEMENTS OF NOTE IN THIS PROGRAM AREA INCLUDED ADVOCATING FOR BUILDING RESILIENCE IN COMMUNITIES, ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT ARE AT DISPROPORTIONATE RISK FOR FLOODING OR EXTREME WEATHER-RELATED DISASTERS DUE TO THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE. EFFORTS INCLUDED STRENGTHENING PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL AND NATIONAL LEADERS TO PUSH FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO INFRASTRUCTURE THAT FOCUS ON EQUITY AND PROMOTE RESILIENCE. SPECIFICALLY, WE WORKED TO IMPROVE FEDERAL FLOOD PROTECTIONS AND SUPPORTED LEGISLATIVE PROPOSALS TO PROTECT HOMEOWNERS AND ACCESS TO INFORMATION. NRDC ALSO WORKED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ALLIES TO FIGHT AGAINST POLLUTION IN FRONTLINE COMMUNITIES THAT ARE DISPROPORTIONATELY BURDENED WITH THE EFFECTS OF TOXIC CHEMICALS. EXAMPLES INCLUDED ADVOCATING FOR THE RESIDENTS OF SOUTHEAST CHICAGO WHO ARE AFFECTED BY TOXIC MANGANESE DUST AND TESTIFYING ON BEHALF OF THE PORT COMMUNITIES IN LOS ANGELES TO CALL FOR GREATER COMMITMENTS TO ZERO EMISSIONS AND VESSEL CLEAN-UP TECHNOLOGIES. OTHER WORK COMPRISED OF STEPS TO DECARBONIZE TRANSPORTATION IN URBAN CENTERS, SUCH AS THE RELEASE OF A REPORT THAT WILL GUIDE THE LOS ANGELES DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION IN DEVELOPING AN EQUITABLE, ACCESSIBLE, LESS CARBON-INTENSIVE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM.
REVIVE OUR OCEANS	NRDC WORKS TO PROTECT OUR SEAS-A KEY SOURCE OF FOOD AND LIVELIHOOD FOR PEOPLE, AND HOME TO MOST LIFE ON EARTH-FROM POLLUTION AND EXPLOITATION. WE DO SO BY FIGHTING TO PROTECT COASTAL COMMUNITIES FROM OFFSHORE DRILLING, CONSERVING OCEAN TREASURES, AND IMPROVING STEWARDSHIP OF THESE SHARED RESOURCES. ONE FOCUS OF NRDC'S WORK IN FY18 IN THIS PROGRAM AREA COMPRISED OF PROTECTING THE COUNTRY'S OCEANS FROM FOSSIL FUEL INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT AND EXTRACTION IN WATERS. EFFORTS INCLUDED DEFENDING THE OCEANS FROM THE ADMINISTRATION'S OFFSHORE DRILLING PROPOSAL, AND ADVOCATING FOR THE PREVENTION OF NEW INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT IN STATES SUCH AS CALIFORNIA, WHICH LED TO THE PASSING OF TWO BILLS PROHIBITING EXPANDED OIL AND GAS DEVELOPMENT IN FEDERAL WATERS. RELATEDLY, NRDC WORKED TO PROTECT MARINE PUBLIC PLACES AND OCEAN HABITATS, SUCH AS FILING COMMENTS WITH THE NOAA ON THE NORTHEAST CANYONS AND SEAMOUNTS MARINE NATIONAL MONUMENT, WHICH WAS UNDER THREAT PER THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT'S PLANS TO SHRINK IT FOR EXPLOITATION BY INDUSTRIES.
