In 2017, with climate progress blocked in Washington, DC, EDF found other ways to advance these goals. For example, EDF helped California, China and Walmart move forward as climate leaders. California extended its cap-and-trade program, a central component of the states bold plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 40% below 1990 levels by 2030. EDF has been working with California leaders on the plan for more than a decade. China announced it will begin phasing in a national emissions trading system for carbon dioxide, based on the success of seven pilot programs on which EDF has advised. And EDFs 11-year collaboration with Walmart resulted in the launch of Project Gigaton, an unprecedented pledge from the worlds largest retailer to shrink its supply-chain greenhouse gas emissions by one billion tons by 2030, more than Germany emits in a year. 24511913 3543522 Ecosystems - EDF develops ways to meet peoples needs for food, water and other natural resources while improving ecosystems, rather than harming them. EDF worked with agribusiness and food interests including Land OLakes, Campbell Soup Company and the National Corn Growers Association on fertilizer efficiency plans that will help reduce serious fertilizer pollution of air and water. Together, a range of companies have committed to adopt best practices on more than 20 million acres by 2022. EDF also worked with farmers, ranchers and others to improve habitat for endangered wildlife. In 2017, EDF launched the Monarch Butterfly Habitat Exchange, in which farmers and ranchers can earn credits for growing milkweed, which is essential to the monarchs survival. In Louisiana, EDF helped win approval for the states master plan to restore coastal wetlands. And in Arizona, EDF spearheaded an agreement with the City of Phoenix and others that makes more Colorado River water available for the environment. 22259763 1155828 Oceans - To improve the health of the oceans and increase future supplies of seafood, EDF aims to sharply reduce overfishing and achieve a dramatic recovery in fish populations. EDF advocates secure fishing rights to give fishermen a financial stake in conserving fish for the future. To accelerate the adoption of sustainable fishing management, EDF and its partners have developed software, training manuals and case studies and have trained more than 700 fishery leaders from Chile to Spain to the Philippines. In 2017, EDF and local partners launched an initiative in Indonesia for blue swimming crab, one of the countrys most lucrative export fisheries. In Europe, EDF advised key officials as they rewrote the EUs Common Fisheries Policy, committing member nations to end widespread overfishing. In Sweden, EDF helped government and industry formulate reforms, including secure fishing rights, for some of their most important fisheries. 9091040 1366247 0 HEALTH 8747454 430292 0 EDUCATION 2142581 6798 0 OTHER 19981075 1803337 0 142284033 true true false true false false false false false true true false false false true true false true false true true true false true false false false true false true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true true true true false true X 471 0 true 741 true false true MX UK CH false false false false false false false false X 37 37 false false true false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false AL AK AR CA CO CT FL GA HI IL KS KY LA ME MD MA MI MN MS NV NH NJ NM NY NC ND OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WA WV WI X X ROBERT YOUNG 2125052100 257 PARK AVENUE SOUTH NEW YORK NY 10010 X Carl Ferenbach CHAIR 6.0 4.0 X X 0 0 0 Arthur Kern thru 217 VICE-CHAIR 2.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Arthur P Cooley SECRETARY 2.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Herb Allen TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 G Leonard Baker Jr TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Joshua Bekenstein TRUSTEE (FROM 10/16) 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Michael Bills TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Sally G Bingham MDiv TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Shelby W Bonnie TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 William K Bowes Jr TRUSTEE (THRU 12/16) 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Christopher A Cole TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Christopher J Costello TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 LESLIE DACH TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Ruth Defries PhD TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Ann Doerr TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Susan Ford Dorsey TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Stanley Druckenmiller TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Kirsten J Feldman TRUSTEE 2.0 2.0 X 0 0 0 Lynn R Goldman MD MPH TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Charles J Hamilton Jr Esq TRUSTEE 2.0 2.0 X 0 0 0 Griffith R Harsh IV MD TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Mark W Heising TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Benjamin Todd Jealous TRUSTEE (thru 5/17) 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Kristine Johnson TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Honorable Thomas H Kean TRUSTEE 2.0 2.0 X 0 0 0 XUE LAN TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Richard Lazarus Esq TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Abby Leigh TRUSTEE 2.0 2.0 X 0 0 0 Sarah Liao Sau-Tung PhD TRUSTEE (thru 5/17) 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Katherine Lorenz TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Frank E Loy TRUSTEE 2.0 2.0 X 0 0 0 Dr Jane Lubchenco TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Susan Mandel TRUSTEE 2.0 2.0 X 0 0 0 Kathryn Murdoch TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Kenneth Olden PhD TRUSTEE (FROM 10/16) 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Signe Ostby TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Stephen Pacala PhD TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Julian Robertson Jr TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Peggy M Shepard TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Douglas W Shorenstein TRUSTEE (THRU 11/16) 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Edward J Stern TRUSTEE (THRU 3/17) 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Lise Strickler TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Sam Rawlings Walton TRUSTEE (thru 5/17) 2.0 2.0 X 0 0 0 Charles F Wurster PhD TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Frederic D Krupp President 36.0 4.0 X 650591 0 61865 JOHN MCGEEHAN CFO (FROM 10/16) 37.0 3.0 X 121629 0 14072 Cynthia Hallenbeck CFO (THRU 6/16) 37.0 3.0 X 232503 0 15026 Eric Pooley Sr VP Strategy & COMMUNICATION 40.0 0.0 X 445389 0 44504 Diane Regas EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.0 0.0 X 370931 0 51445 Dr Daniel Dudek Vice President of Asia 40.0 0.0 X 338356 0 44136 David H Festa VP of Eco Systems 39.0 1.0 X 319212 0 34863 PAULA HAYES SENIOR VP, GLOBAL STRATEGY 40.0 0.0 X 299546 0 48211 2778157 0 314122 198 false true false RBS International Direct Marketing 18 Stoneybrook DRIVE WILTON NH 03086 Marketing 1892370 Ocean Analytics 280 Vereda Galeria GOLETA CA 93117 Strategic Consulting 591000 Climate Advisers Inc 1320 19th St NW Suite 400 WASHINGTON DC 20036 ENVIR.

In FY2017, EDF spent a total of $4,984,107. which comprises 3% of its total expenditures, on influencing legislation. Consistent with its tax-exempt purpose, EDFs lobbying activities were focused on the protection of the environment, human health, and wildlife. During FY2017, EDF defended the Endangered Species Act of 1973 to protect species and habitats from extinction. In addition, EDF worked to save the Environmental Protection Agency from budget cuts, ensured the preservation of the Bureau of Land Managements methane and waste prevention rule, and safeguarded against the roll-backs of other federal environmental protection laws. EDF was also active in voicing its position on nominations for federal environmental posts. Much of the lobbying work around these issues was carried out by Moms Clean Air Force, a special project of EDF. In addition to efforts focused on federal legislation, EDF was active during FY2017 at the state-level, including in the states of California, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The work in California was directed toward extending the states cap and trade program with the successful passage of AB 398 as well as legislation aimed at greenhouse gas regulations and energy efficiency, such as AB 378 and SB 370. EDF also turned its efforts to methane rules in Pennsylvania, natural gas in Ohio and energy efficiency in New Jersey. EDF accomplishes its lobbying objectives through both in-house staff and outside consultants, who assist with strategizing and planning, and through grassroots and direct communications. EDFs largest lobby expenditure during FY2017 was a grant of $4,570,238. provided to Environmental Defense Action Fund (EDAF), the political action partner and affiliated 501(c)(4) organization of EDF. The purpose of the grant was to provide general support for the educational and lobbying activities of EDAF in furtherance of its mission, which is consistent with the shared program objectives of EDF and EDAF. As required by law, EDAF is restricted from using any of the EDF lobby grant funds for political campaign activities under the terms of the grant agreement between EDF and EDAF. 12453146 27521 1504407 742844 13242230 12170777 598267 315898 12453146 7492238 377594 282629 7587203 6401844 1335610 245216 7492238 5590776 1058562 247494 6401844 0.55280 0.44720 false false 393319 76697 316622 16431815 7113936 9317879 4640586 3425790 1214796 5629436 4551750 1077686 11926983 0 ANNUITIES PAYABLE 4777168 RETIREMENT PLAN LIABILITY 3370607 8147775 X 149012436 1264547 1096995 2361542 146650894 146650894 172637685 1096995 1096995 171540690 171540690 PART V, LINE 1, COLUMN B: THE NET ASSETS AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 HAVE BEEN RESTATED TO CORRECT A DONOR CLASSIFICATION OF NET ASSETS FROM UNRESTRICTED TO PERMANENTLY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS.
