IN OCTOBER 2016, 195 COUNTRIES AGREED TO LIMIT CARBON EMISSIONS FROM GLOBAL AVIATION, USING A MARKET-BASED METHOD THAT EDF HELPED DEVELOP. SHORTLY AFTERWARD, THE PARIS CLIMATE AGREEMENT CAME INTO FORCE, YEARS EARLIER THAN EXPECTED. IN CHINA, EDF ADVISED THE GOVERNMENT ON SEVEN EMISSIONS TRADING PILOT PROGRAMS COVERING MORE THAN A BILLION TONS OF CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS, LAYING THE GROUNDWORK FOR A NATIONAL CARBON-TRADING PROGRAM IN 2017. EDF ALSO LED EFFORTS TO REDUCE EMISSIONS OF METHANE, WHICH ACCOUNTS FOR ONE QUARTER OF THE GLOBAL WARMING EXPERIENCED TODAY. EDF HAS WORKED WITH NEARLY 100 ACADEMIC RESEARCHERS AND COMPANIES TO COLLECT DATA ON METHANE EMISSIONS FROM NATURAL GAS FACILITIES AND HELPED BUILD SUPPORT FOR POLICIES TO CUT THOSE EMISSIONS IN CANADA, MEXICO AND THE UNITED STATES. 24548497 2018454 0 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, CALLED CATCH SHARES IN THE UNITED STATES, TO GIVE FISHERMAN A FINANCIAL STAKE IN CONSERVING FISH FOR THE FUTURE. NEW PEER-REVIEWED RESEARCH BY EDF AND UNIVERSITY PARTNERSHIPS, PUBLISHED IN 2016 IN THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES, SHOWS THAT WITH PROPER MANAGEMENT MORE THAN THREE-FOURTHS OF THE WORLD'S FISHERIES CAN BE HEALTHY WITHIN A DECADE, COMPARED TO ONE-THIRD TODAY. EDFS GROWING LIST OF SUCCESSES DEMONSTRATES WHATS POSSIBLE WITH THE RIGHT SET OF POLICIES AND INCENTIVES. FOR EXAMPLE, IN JUNE 2016, AFTER SUCCESSFUL PILOT PROJECTS THAT EDF AND ITS PARTNERS HELPED DESIGN, BELIZE BECAME THE FIRST COUNTRY TO ADOPT A NATIONAL, MULTISPECIES FISHING RIGHTS PROGRAM FOR SMALL-SCALE FISHERIES. 20749748 2032470 0 ECOSYSTEMS - ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND, INC. ("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 COMPANIES 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 23 MILLION ACRES BY 2020. EDF ALSO WORKED WITH RANCHERS AND OTHERS TO IMPROVE HABITAT FOR THE GREATER SAGE GROUSE BY USING HABITAT EXCHANGES. IN SUCH AN EXCHANGE, A COMPANY THAT DEGRADES HABITAT IS REQUIRED TO FUND THE CREATION OF ENOUGH BETTER-QUALITY TERRAIN TO MORE THAN COMPENSATE FOR THE DAMAGE IT CAUSES. BY MID-2015, EDF AND ITS PARTNERS WON ENOUGH HABITAT RESTORATION COMMITMENTS FROM LANDOWNERS TO PERSUADE THE U S FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE THAT THE SAGE GROUSE'S FUTURE CAN BE SECURED WITHOUT HAVING TO RESORT TO AN ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT LISTING. EDF ALSO HELPED LEAD SCIENCE AND POLICY EFFORTS TO RESTORE COASTAL WETLANDS IN LOUISIANA, AN AREA HARMED BY THE BP DEEPWATER HORIZON OIL DISASTER. 16900093 1648945 0 130180268 true true false true
