Reduce global warming pollution and build a new energy future

An unprecedented movement driven by people from all walks of life has made the reduction of global warming pollution a top national priority. NWF is helping to create a new energy future that greatly reduces global warming pollution’ by.

•            reducing fossil fuel use,

•            improving forestry and agricultural practices to sequester carbon,

•            creating investments and incentives for renewable energy and energy efficiency,

•            insuring clean power is distributed efficiently and equitably,

•            expanding quality green jobs, and

•            securing funding to safeguard wildlife and people from climate change impacts.

Safeguard wildlife and people in a warming world

We must adequately protect the natural places that define, defend and support America’s diverse communities, and invest in green jobs to restore and protect nature. NWF will safeguard people and wildlife from the impacts of climate change by;

•            reinventing ecosystem protection and restoration to include climate science,

•            balancing energy needs with protecting wildlife habitat,

•            supporting safeguards for people that also enhance wildlife habitat, and

•            testing and evaluating climate-smart restoration projects.

Connect people with nature and get families to “Be Out There”

NWF has launched Be Out There™, a national campaign to re-connect families to the outdoors in order to raise healthier kids and inspire a life-long appreciation of wildlife and nature. NWF’s Be Out There campaign has three primary objectives;

•            raise awareness amongst moms and other decision makers,

•            promote state and federal policies to increase outdoor time,

•            create ways for children to enjoy the outdoors in unstructured activity.
