FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS THIS FISCAL YEAR, NRDC HAS CONTINUED ITS MISSION TO PRESERVE A LIVEABLE CLIMATE AND PROTECT HUMAN HEALTH, BIODIVERSITY, AND THE ENVIRONMENT IN THE UNITED STATES AND ABROAD. OUR PROGRAMS, LITIGATION, SCIENCE, ADVOCACY AND COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENTS WORK TOGETHER TO ENSURE THE RIGHTS OF ALL PEOPLE TO CLEAN AIR, SAFE WATER, AND A THRIVING NATURAL WORLD. NRDC HAS THREE KEY PROGRAMMATIC AREAS THAT SEEK TO ADVANCE EQUITABLE ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS: (1) AVERTING THE MOST DANGEROUS IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE; (2) ADVOCATING FOR THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES; AND (3) CONSERVING NATURE AND PROTECTING WILDLIFE. EACH PROGRAM'S HIGHLIGHTS ARE COVERED BELOW IN ORDER OF SPENDING. THE SUMMARY ALSO HIGHLIGHTS THE WORK OF NRDC'S INTERNATIONAL PROGRAM. CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE NRDC'S CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE WORK AIMS TO URGENTLY REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS TO A LEVEL CONSISTENT WITH A 1.5-DEGREE CELSIUS INCREASE PATHWAY BY 2050, IN ACCORDANCE WITH 2018 GUIDANCE ISSUED BY THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGE. IN FISCAL YEAR 22, THIS CATEGORY OF WORK BROADLY CONSISTED OF WORKING TOWARD THE TWIN GOALS OF ADVANCING CLEAN ENERGY AND CUTTING CARBON EMISSIONS. NRDC FOCUSED MUCH OF ITS EFFORTS ON DRIVING SYSTEMIC CHANGE ON CLEAN ENERGY; IN PARTICULAR, WE WORKED WITH VARIOUS LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL TO SPEED THE TRANSITION OFF FOSSIL FUELS THROUGH LITIGATION, ADVOCACY, AND RESEARCH. THE MOST NOTEWORTHY HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS PAST YEAR'S WORK INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: NRDC CONTINUED EFFORTS THIS PAST FISCAL YEAR TO PROTECT CLEAN AIR AND THE CLIMATE BY CUTTING CARBON EMISSIONS THEREBY DECREASING POLLUTION THROUGH SYSTEMS CHANGE AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL. DUE IN PART TO OUR WORK, THE U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA) IS REINSTATING THE ABILITY OF STATES TO ADOPT PASSENGER CAR AND LIGHT TRUCK POLLUTION STANDARDS THAT ARE STRONGER THAN THE FEDERAL STANDARD, WHICH WAS ESTABLISHED MORE THAN 50 YEARS AGO BY CONGRESS IN THE CLEAN AIR ACT AND WAS REVOKED UNDER THE PRIOR PRESIDENTIAL ADMINISTRATION; THIS RULE ALLOWS STATES TO SET STRONGER STATE POLLUTION STANDARDS THAT PROTECT PUBLIC HEALTH WHEN NATIONAL STANDARDS ARE INADEQUATE. IN OTHER EFFORTS, NRDC WORKED TO ADDRESS THE U.S. POSTAL SERVICE'S (USPS) DIRTY AND POLLUTING GAS-POWERED FLEET BY ENCOURAGING MEMBERS AND SUPPORTERS TO WRITE TO THE USPS TO RAPIDLY SHIFT TO CLEAN ELECTRIC VEHICLES; BY FILING COMMENTS TO THE USPS DETAILING HOW THE AGENCY VIOLATED THE LAW IN FAILING TO ADEQUATELY CONSIDER ELECTRIC VEHICLES IN THEIR DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT; AND BY SUING THE USPS FOR ITS ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS TO BUY TENS OF THOUSANDS OF GAS-POWERED TRUCKS RATHER THAN ELECTRIC VEHICLES. WE ALSO SAW FORMIDABLE RESULTS OF OUR WORK TO CUT CARBON EMISSIONS AT THE STATE LEVEL. IN A SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT, CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM SIGNED THE FIRST BILL IN THE COUNTRY ADDRESSING CARBON POLLUTION FROM CEMENT PLANTS. HE ALSO SIGNED THE STATE'S FIRST LAW REQUIRING A SECTOR TO ACHIEVE NET-ZERO EMISSIONS, WHICH WILL HELP PROVIDE A MODEL FOR INDUSTRIAL SECTOR POLICIES. IN NEW YORK STATE, GOVERNOR KATHY HOCHUL SIGNED INTO LAW A STATE GOAL REQUIRING ALL NEW PASSENGER CARS AND LIGHT TRUCKS TO BE ZERO-EMISSION BY 2035 A RESULT OF YEARS-LONG ADVOCACY BY NRDC. ADDITIONALLY, THE NEW YORK STATE LEGISLATURE PASSED THE ADVANCED BUILDING CODES, APPLIANCE AND EQUIPMENT EFFICIENCY STANDARDS ACT OF 2022, WHICH REQUIRES ENERGY CODES FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION TO REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AND SETS HIGHER EFFICIENCY STANDARDS FOR A BROAD RANGE OF CONSUMER PRODUCTS, SUCH AS TVS, COMPUTERS, AND AIR PURIFIERS HELPING TO SLASH CARBON EMISSIONS WHILE SAVING CONSUMERS $15 BILLION OVER THE NEXT 15 YEARS. NRDC ALSO MADE STRIDES IN HELPING STATES AND LOCAL COMMUNITIES TRANSITION TO CLEAN ENERGY, WITH EQUITY AS A FOCUS OF OUR ADVOCACY. ONE CRITICAL EFFORT INCLUDED REVISING AN ENERGY EFFICIENCY PLAN IN ILLINOIS AS PART OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CLIMATE AND EQUITABLE JOBS ACT, WHICH WOULD ENSURE SIGNIFICANT NEW INVESTMENTS IN ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROGRAMS FOR UNDER-RESOURCED COMMUNITIES AND PROVIDE FUNDS TO SUPPORT ELECTRIFICATION MEASURES IN PROPANE-HEATED PROPERTIES. ANOTHER IS THE PASSAGE OF A TRIO OF CLIMATE-FRIENDLY MEASURES IN SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA, WHICH WILL REFORM PARKING REQUIREMENTS CITYWIDE, ACCELERATE STRATEGIES TO ACHIEVE CARBON NEUTRALITY BY 2030, AND ADOPT EQUITY-FOCUSED PROGRAMS AND POLICIES TO HELP RESIDENTS TRANSITION TO ELECTRIC APPLIANCES. NRDC ALSO CONTINUED WORKING TO TRANSITION THE COUNTRY AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE TOWARD A CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE. IN ONE ACHIEVEMENT, MASSACHUSETTS, NEW JERSEY, AND NEW YORK ALL ADOPTED CALIFORNIA'S ADVANCED CLEAN TRUCKS RULE, A REGULATION THAT WOULD REQUIRE MANUFACTURERS TO SELL AN INCREASING NUMBER OF ELECTRIC TRUCKS AND BUSES IN THE STATES ANNUALLY, STARTING IN VEHICLE MODEL YEAR 2025; AS A RESULT OF OUR EFFORTS CONDUCTING ANALYSES ON THE BENEFITS OF THIS REGULATION IN EACH STATE AND PARTNERING WITH COMMUNITIES IN THESE STATES, THE REGULATION IS EXPECTED TO PROVIDE BETWEEN $800 MILLION TO $19 BILLION IN NET SOCIETAL BENEFITS TO THESE STATES BY 2050. SIMILARLY, WE COMMISSIONED A STUDY THAT ILLUSTRATED THE BENEFITS THAT STRONG VEHICLE EMISSIONS STANDARDS WOULD HAVE IN NORTH CAROLINA, INCLUDING THE FINDING THAT THE STATE WILL SEE SIGNIFICANT PUBLIC HEALTH BENEFITS FROM AVOIDED AIR POLLUTION, REDUCTIONS IN GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS, AND UP TO $150 BILLION IN NET SOCIETAL BENEFITS BETWEEN NOW AND 2050. FURTHER, WE SAW GOVERNOR HOCHUL SIGN INTO LAW A BILL THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE STATE'S INVESTOR-OWNED UTILITIES TO PROPOSE ALTERNATIVES TO TRADITIONAL DEMAND CHARGES FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE GAS STATIONS, IN A STATE WHERE THE PRICE OF DEMAND CHARGES MAY IMPEDE THE EXPANSION OF FAST CHARGING. ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN CALIFORNIA, GOVERNOR NEWSOM SIGNED FOUR OF NRDC'S PRIORITY CLIMATE BILLS INCLUDING ONE THAT PILOT-TESTS A ROAD-USER CHARGE BASED ON VEHICLE EFFICIENCY, AND ANOTHER TO JUMP START RESPONSIBLY DEVELOPED OFFSHORE WIND. HE ALSO OUTLINED A $15 BILLION BUDGET PACKAGE TO HELP CALIFORNIA FIGHT THE CLIMATE CRISIS THAT INCLUDES SUPPORTING ZERO-EMISSION TRANSPORTATION AND BUILDINGS. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES NRDC WORKS TO CHANGE SYSTEMS THAT IMPACT PEOPLE DIRECTLY AND INDIRECTLY, FROM ADDRESSING UNSAFE DRINKING WATER SYSTEMS TO DECREASING CHEMICALS IN CONSUMER PRODUCTS TO ADVOCATING FOR INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS. THESE EFFORTS SPAN A WIDE RANGE OF ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING ADVOCATING FOR COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE HISTORICALLY SUFFERED DISPROPORTIONATE IMPACTS OF HARM FROM CLIMATE CHANGE AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES; ADDRESSING TOXIC CHEMICALS AND PESTICIDES IN OUR ENVIRONMENT IN FOOD, AIR, AND WATER; AND PROMOTING RESILIENCE AND HEALTH FOR ALL AT THE LOCAL, STATE, REGIONAL, AND NATIONAL LEVELS. KEY HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS PAST YEAR ARE AS FOLLOWS: NRDC WORKED TO PASS THE INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT AND JOBS ACT ( IIJA), A CRITICAL FEDERAL LEGISLATION THAT WILL HAVE FAR-REACHING BENEFICIAL IMPACTS. WE HELPED STRENGTHEN AND ULTIMATELY ENACT AS PART OF THE LAW A PACKAGE OF WATER AND TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE-RELATED PROVISIONS, WHICH INCLUDED INCREASING AUTHORIZED WATER INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDING; DIRECTING WATER INVESTMENT TO RURAL AND UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES; AND ESTABLISHING A LOW-INCOME WATER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. OUR EFFORTS ON IIJA SPANNED MULTIPLE ADDITIONAL INITIATIVES, INCLUDING THE SUBMISSION OF COMMENTS TO THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION'S REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ON IMPLEMENTING PROGRAMS FOR THE BILL. THE CROSSCUTTING RECOMMENDATIONS IN OUR COMMENTS AIMED TO ENSURE THAT IIJA BECOMES AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE U.S. RESPONSE TO CLIMATE CHANGE, RESULTS IN SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT IN CLEAN TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS, AND EXPANDS THE AVAILABILITY OF HIGH-QUALITY, AFFORDABLE MOBILITY OPTIONS TO ADDRESS ONGOING RACIAL INEQUITIES IN TRANSPORTATION, AMONG MANY OTHER SECTORS. WE ALSO WORKED WITH COALITION GROUPS TO ENSURE THAT THE EPA GUIDANCE ON THE BILL INCLUDES STRONG REQUIREMENTS FOR EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF FUNDING TO UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES. THIS FISCAL YEAR WAS ALSO MARKED BY NRDC'S EFFORTS IN STATES AND REGIONS TO SAFEGUARD COMMUNITY WATER INFRASTRUCTURE AND DRINKING WATER. FOR EXAMPLE, THE STEADY DRUMBEAT OF OUR ADVOCACY AND WORK WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS ON FAILING SEWAGE INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE CITY OF MOUNT VERNON, NEW YORK, LED TO GOVERNOR HOCHUL ANNOUNCING $150 MILLION IN FUNDING TO ADDRESS AN ENVIRONMENTAL INJUSTICE THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR TWO DECADES. ADDITIONALLY, FOLLOWING THE EFFORTS OF NRDC AND COALITION PARTNERS TO RAISE AWARENESS ON THE ISSUE OF LEAD IN DRINKING WATER IN BENTON HARBOR, MICHIGAN, GOVERNOR GRETCHEN WHITMER SIGNED AN EXECUTIVE ORDER THAT COMMITTED TO A COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF THE CITY'S ESTIMATED 6,000 LEAD SERVICE LINES WITHIN 18 MONTHS, AND TO PROVIDE FREE BOTTLED WATER UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE AS WELL AS DELIVER FREE AND LOW-COST SERVICES FOR TESTING AND OTHER HEALTH NEEDS. NRDC ALSO WRAPPED UP A 14-YEAR BATTLE FOR SAFE WATER IN A TENNESSEE COMMUNITY THAT HAD BEEN DAMAGED BY CARCINOGENIC INDUSTRIAL SOLVENTS THAT LEAKED INTO WELLS AND SPRINGS A CASE THAT SERVED AS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF ENVIRONMENTAL RACISM BECAUSE IT EXCLUDED BLACK RESIDENTS FROM RECEIVING SAFE ALTERNATIVE WATER SUPPLIES. UNDER THE COURT ORDER, HOMES WERE TAKEN OFF WELL WATER, MANY WELLS WERE CLOSED, AND A FUND WAS SET UP FOR LONG-TERM MONITORING TO ENSURE THE CONTAMINATION REMAINS CONTAINED. ADDITIONALLY, NRDC WORKED TO PROTECT COMMUNITIES FROM MORE NEW FOSSIL FUEL INFRASTRUCTURE AND ITS PUBLIC HEALTH IMPACTS. EFFORTS INCLUDED PREPARING A COALITION LETTER OF SIGNATORIES FROM MORE THAN 90 ORGANIZATIONS, URGING THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO CATEGORICALLY BAN THE TRANSPORT OF LIQUIFIED NATURAL GAS (LNG) BY RAIL AS PART OF A RULEMAKING TO REPLACE A TRUMP ADMINISTRATION REGULATION THAT ALLOWED RAIL TRANSPORT. IN SIMILAR ENDEAVORS, OUR EFFORTS OPPOSING AND ADVOCATING AGAINST THE PENNEAST PIPELINE, A PROPOSED 118-MILE PIPELINE THAT WOULD HAVE CROSSED MANY WATER BODIES AND WETLANDS IN THE DELAWARE RIVER BASIN BETWEEN PENNSYLVANIA AND NEW JERSEY, PAID OFF IN THE CANCELLATION OF THE PIPELINE. ON THE WEST COAST, THE LOS ANGELES CITY COUNCIL VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO PASS A MOTION THAT WILL BEGIN THE PROCESS OF PHASING OUT OIL DRILLING IN THE CITY, A BIG WIN FOR THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF FRONTLINE COMMUNITIES; NRDC HAD ADVOCATED FOR YEARS THERE ALONGSIDE THE COMMUNITIES AND PROVIDED LEGAL, POLICY, FINANCIAL, AND COMMUNICATIONS SUPPORT. NRDC MADE STRIDES IN HELPING TO DECREASE THE AMOUNT OF PER- AND POLYFLUOROALKYL SUBSTANCES (PFAS), A CLASS OF TOXIC MAN-MADE CHEMICALS THAT CAN BE HARMFUL AT EXTREMELY LOW DOSES, IN OUR ENVIRONMENT BY HOLDING CORPORATIONS ACCOUNTABLE AND WORKING WITH LAWMAKERS. AFTER WE DEVELOPED A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND SCORECARD RANKING THE COMMITMENTS TO ELIMINATE PFAS BY LEADING RETAIL AND APPAREL BRANDS AND NOTIFIED BRANDS OF THEIR LOW RANKINGS BEFORE THE SCORECARD'S RELEASE, SEVERAL COMPANIES ANNOUNCED CHANGES TO THEIR COMMITMENTS. MOST NOTABLY, PATAGONIA ISSUED A PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITS PLANS TO PHASE OUT THE USE OF THE TOXIC CHEMICALS IN ALL OF ITS PRODUCTS, THE FIRST COMMITMENT OF THIS KIND MADE BY AN OUTDOOR APPAREL COMPANY. ABERCROMBIE & FITCH, AMERICAN EAGLE, PVH (THE PARENT COMPANY OF CALVIN KLEIN, TOMMY HILFIGER AND SEVERAL OTHER MAJOR U.S. APPAREL BRANDS), AND RALPH LAUREN ALSO POSTED UPDATED CHEMICAL POLICIES THAT COMMITTED TO THE PHASE OUT OF ALL TOXIC PFAS CHEMICALS IN THEIR SUPPLY CHAINS. FURTHERMORE, AS A RESULT OF OUR ADVOCACY, STATES ACROSS THE COUNTRY TOOK UP MEASURES TO PHASE OUT OR ELIMINATE PFAS. FOR EXAMPLE, CALIFORNIA MOVED AN NRDC-SUPPORTED BILL TO ELIMINATE PFAS IN CLOTHES AND TEXTILES THROUGH ITS STATE ASSEMBLY AND THE CALIFORNIA SENATE ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY COMMITTEE; GOVERNOR NEWSOM SIGNED A LAW TO PROTECT THE STATE'S RESIDENTS FROM PFAS IN FOOD PACKAGING AND COOKWARE; AND NRDC COLLABORATED WITH PARTNERS TO SECURE CALIFORNIA APPROPRIATIONS LANGUAGE AUTHORIZING $15 MILLION IN FUNDING TO MONITOR PFAS POLLUTION AT ALL PUBLIC WATER SYSTEMS AND TO DEVELOP A TEST FOR PFAS AS A CLASS. EXAMPLES ON THE EAST COAST INCLUDE MARYLAND'S THEN GOVERNOR LAWRENCE HOGAN SIGNING A BILL TO END THE USE OF PFAS IN FIREFIGHTING FOAM, FOOD PACKAGING, AND RUGS AND CARPETS, AS WELL AS REQUIRING THE DISCLOSURE OF PFAS IN FIREFIGHTING GEAR; AND NEW YORK STATE INTRODUCING A BILL TO PHASE OUT PFAS IN MULTIPLE PRODUCT CATEGORIES, INCLUDING TEXTILES, RUGS, COOKWARE, AND CLEANING PRODUCTS. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C WILDLIFE AND WILDLANDS NRDC PROTECTS WILDLIFE AND UNSPOILED LANDS AND WATERS FROM INAPPROPRIATE AND UNLAWFUL INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, COMMERCIAL EXPLOITATION, POLLUTION, AND CLIMATE CHANGE. WE PARTNER WITH RANCHERS, FARMERS, AND THE GOVERNMENT TO PROMOTE SOLUTIONS THAT HELP WILD PREDATORS COEXIST WITH LIVESTOCK AND PEOPLE. WE PUSH FOR INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS TO PROTECT ELEPHANTS, RHINOS, SHARKS, 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 CANADIAN BOREAL FOREST. THE MAIN FY22 ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND HIGHLIGHTS IN THIS CATEGORY ARE AS FOLLOWS: NRDC MADE BIG STRIDES IN PROTECTING WILD LANDS AND PLACES. ONE SIGNIFICANT ACHIEVEMENT WAS PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN GRANTING FULL PROTECTIONS AND BOUNDARIES TO THE BEARS EARS, GRAND STAIRCASE-ESCALANTE, AND NORTHEAST CANYONS AND SEAMOUNTS MARINE NATIONAL MONUMENTS, WHICH NRDC FOUGHT TO REINSTATE AFTER ROLLBACKS IN 2017 AND 2020 THAT WOULD ALLOW OIL, GAS, AND OTHER EXTRACTIVE DEVELOPMENTS. IN ADDITION, AS A RESULT OF COMMUNITY PARTNER EFFORTS AND OUR ADVOCACY, PRESIDENT BIDEN AND INTERIOR SECRETARY DEB HAALAND ANNOUNCED THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR WILL PROPOSE TO WITHDRAW FEDERAL LANDS FROM OIL AND GAS LEASING FOR 20 YEARS WITHIN A 10-MILE RADIUS AROUND CHACO CULTURE NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK, A UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE IN NORTHERN NEW MEXICO. IN OTHER ADVANCEMENTS IN THE PROTECTIONS OF WILD AREAS, THE D.C. CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS DISMISSED ALASKA'S CHALLENGE TO THE ROADLESS RULE-A PROTECTION THAT HAS BEEN OFFICIAL SINCE 2001 DUE TO NRDC ADVOCACY-WHICH SAFEGUARDS BIODIVERSITY, CARBON STORAGE, AND OTHER NATURAL VALUES ACROSS 58 MILLION ACRES OF THE NATIONAL FOREST SYSTEM. IN ADDITION, WE ALSO HELD CORPORATIONS ACCOUNTABLE FOR POLLUTING THE ENVIRONMENT: WE LED THE 20-YEAR LEGAL FIGHT URGING A FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT IN MAINE TO ADOPT A COURT-ORDERED SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT TO HOLD PHARMACEUTICALS COMPANY MALLINCKRODT ACCOUNTABLE FOR POLLUTING THE PENOBSCOT RIVER WITH TONS OF MERCURY FROM A NOW-DEFUNCT CHEMICAL PLANT, AND HAVE IT PAY AT LEAST $187 MILLION AND UP TO $267 MILLION TO CLEAN UP THE RIVER. NRDC ALSO MADE SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS IN PROTECTING NATURE AND ECOSYSTEMS FROM TOXIC CHEMICALS, BOTH AT THE NATIONAL AND STATE LEVELS. OF PARTICULAR IMPORTANCE IS A PARTIAL SETTLEMENT BETWEEN NRDC AND THE EPA REQUIRING THE AGENCY TO ANALYZE THE IMPACTS OF ACETAMIPRID AND DINOTEFURAN, TWO BEE-KILLING NEONICOTINOID INSECTICIDES (NEONICS)-A LEADING CAUSE OF POLLINATOR DECLINES THAT DEVASTATE ECOSYSTEMS AND HUMAN HEALTH-ON ENDANGERED AND THREATENED SPECIES, THE PROCESS OF WHICH SHOULD RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT RESTRICTIONS ON THE USE OF THESE DANGEROUS PESTICIDES. OTHER SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS, DUE IN PART TO NRDC'S EFFORTS, INCLUDE THE SIGNING OF A LAW IN NEW JERSEY TO PROHIBIT MOST OUTDOOR, NON-AGRICULTURAL USES OF NEONICS. THIS LAW, THE STRICTEST NEONIC RESTRICTION IN THE COUNTRY, IS SERVING AS A MODEL FOR OTHER STATES LIKE CALIFORNIA, WHOSE STATE ASSEMBLY ALSO PASSED AN NRDC-SUPPORTED BILL DURING THIS FISCAL YEAR THAT PROHIBITS SIMILAR USES OF NEONICS, AND NEW YORK, WHICH ANNOUNCED IT WILL RESTRICT ITS USES BY JANUARY 1, 2023. NRDC WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN HELPING TO SAFEGUARD WILDLIFE AND BIODIVERSITY IN A MULTITUDE OF WAYS, INCLUDING ADVOCATING AND CREATING SYSTEMIC CHANGES IN THE UNITED STATES AND ACROSS THE WORLD. FOR EXAMPLE, NRDC WEIGHED IN WITH KEY MEMBERS OF THE U.S. CONGRESS TO SUPPORT THE RECOVERING AMERICA'S WILDLIFE ACT-A ONCE-IN-A-GENERATION INVESTMENT TO STOP THE BIODIVERSITY CRISIS-WHICH THE HOUSE PASSED AND THE SENATE ADVANCED FOR A DEBATE. ALSO, IN LINE WITH OUR REQUESTS AND EFFORTS, CONGRESS APPROPRIATED $2.5 MILLION IN FY22 AND SECURED $4.55 MILLION FOR FY23 FOR THE USDA WILDLIFE SERVICES TO EXPAND ITS NONLETHAL CONFLICT REDUCTION INITIATIVE BENEFITTING ICONIC KEYSTONE SPECIES, SUCH AS GRIZZLY BEARS, WOLVES, AND BEAVERS; NRDC HELPED ESTABLISH THE BEGINNING OF THIS PROGRAM IN 2010 AND WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT ITS ADVOCACY AND IMPLEMENTATION ACROSS A GROWING NUMBER OF STATES. ADDITIONALLY, WE CONTINUE TO COLLABORATE WITH COALITION PARTNERS ACROSS THE WORLD TO PROTECT BIODIVERSITY, SUCH AS PARTICIPATING IN THE THIRD MEETING OF THE CONVENTION OF BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY'S OPEN-ENDED WORKING GROUP ON THE POST-2020 GLOBAL BIODIVERSITY FRAMEWORK (GBF) IN SWITZERLAND, TO HELP DRAFT TARGET LANGUAGE TO PROTECT 30 PERCENT OF OCEAN, INLAND WATER, AND LAND AREAS BY 2030, AND THE FINAL NEGOTIATIONS ON THE POST-2020 GBF IN KENYA. FURTHERMORE, NRDC CONTINUED TO PROTECT NUMEROUS MARINE MAMMAL POPULATIONS THAT ARE UNDER GRAVE THREATS FROM A COMBINATION OF CLIMATE CHANGE, FISHING GEAR, AND OCEAN NOISE. NRDC LED EFFORTS TO SECURE FUNDING FOR QUIET SOUND, A NEW INITIATIVE IN WASHINGTON STATE TO REDUCE VESSEL NOISE AND DISTURBANCES TO MARINE MAMMALS IN THE SALISH SEA SUCH AS THE SOUTHERN RESIDENT ORCAS-THE FIRST PROGRAM OF ITS KIND IN THE UNITED STATES THAT IS MODELED AFTER A SUCCESSFUL VESSEL NOISE REDUCTION PROGRAM IN CANADA. SIMILARLY DUE IN PART TO OUR WORK, THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES PASSED AN AMENDMENT TO THE NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT (NDAA) THAT PROVIDES PROTECTIONS FOR WHALES AND MARINE MAMMALS, INCLUDING MEASURES TO REDUCE VESSEL COLLISIONS AND PROGRAMS AIMED AT REDUCING CHRONIC UNDERWATER NOISE. WE ALSO WORKED TO SUPPORT THE CRITICALLY ENDANGERED NORTH AMERICAN RIGHT WHALE BY SUBMITTING A LETTER TO THE MONTEREY BAY AQUARIUM SEAFOOD WATCH PROGRAM BACKING ITS SCIENCE-BASED RECOMMENDATION THAT CONSUMERS AVOID AMERICAN LOBSTERS CAUGHT IN THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA AND SNOW CRABS FROM CANADA'S ATLANTIC COAST TO ADDRESS THE IMPACTS OF MARINE MAMMAL ENTANGLEMENTS IN FISHING GEAR FROM THE LOBSTER AND SNOW CRAB FISHERIES. DUE TO THE SEAFOOD WATCH'S REACH AND INFLUENCE, WHICH INFORMS THE PURCHASING DECISION OF MORE THAN 50 NGOS WORLDWIDE AND MORE THAN 25,000 BUSINESS LOCATIONS, THIS EFFORT ALSO HELPED RAISE AWARENESS OF THE PLIGHT OF THE RIGHT WHALE, THE POPULATIONS OF WHICH HAVE BEEN DECREASING STEADILY.
