Organization Type:
Non-Profit

Mission:
Environmental Defense is dedicated to protecting the environmental rights of all people, including future generations. Among these rights are clean air, clean water, healthy, nourishing food, and a flourishing ecosystem.

Environmental Defense will be guided by scientific evaluation of environmental problems, and the solutions we advocate will be based on science, even when it leads in unfamiliar directions. Environmental Defense will work to create solutions that win lasting political, economic, and social support because they are bipartisan, efficient, and fair.

Environmental Defense believes that a sustainable environment will require economic and social systems that are equitable and just. We affirm our commitment to the environmental rights of the poor and people of color.

As an American organization, Environmental Defense will always pay special attention to American environmental problems and to America's role in both causing and solving global environmental problems.
