Desc	INTERNATIONALFROM CHINA TO INDIA TO THE AMERICAS, NRDC'S INTERNATIONAL WORK LEVERAGES OUR SCIENTIFIC, ECONOMIC, AND POLICY EXPERTISE TO ADVANCE KEY ENVIRONMENTAL AND CLIMATE PROGRAMS WITH FAR-REACHING IMPACTS ACROSS THE WORLD. OUR HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS PAST FISCAL YEAR ARE AS FOLLOWS: NRDC PUSHED FURTHER FOR CLIMATE ACTION TO REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS WORLDWIDE. ONE NOTABLE SUCCESS FOLLOWING MORE THAN A DECADE OF NRDC'S ADVOCACY: STOPPING THE KEYSTONE XL PIPELINE, THEREBY EFFECTIVELY HALTING THE EXPANSION OF ALBERTA'S TAR SANDS FROM THIS SOURCE. IN ADDITION, NRDC'S ACTIVITIES IN INFORMING STAKEHOLDERS AND EXPERTS THROUGH DISCUSSIONS, WORKSHOPS, AND INFORMATION-SHARING EVENTUALLY LED CHINA TO ADOPT THE KIGALI AMENDMENT TO THE MONTREAL PROTOCOL, BRINGING THE WORLD'S LARGEST FLUOROCHEMICAL PRODUCER TO PHASE DOWN HFCS, A POTENT GREENHOUSE GAS USED IN REFRIGERANTS AND AIR CONDITIONERS. WE ALSO CONTINUED TO PUSH CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY THAT WOULD HAVE PROFOUND IMPACTS SYSTEMICALLY: AFTER OUR EFFORTS TO REVEAL GENERAL ELECTRIC'S PIPELINE OF PLANNED COAL PROJECTS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES AND ADVOCACY IN WORKING WITH PARTNERS IN ASIA, EUROPE, AND AUSTRALIA TO RAISE PUBLIC PRESSURE, GENERAL ELECTRIC ANNOUNCED IT WILL END ITS INVOLVEMENT IN EQUIPPING AND CONSTRUCTING NEW COAL PROJECTS WORLDWIDE. SIMILARLY, OUR EFFORTS TO PROTECT THE CANADIAN BOREAL FOREST TO PRESERVE CLIMATE-CRITICAL CARBON SINKS AND PREVENT DEFORESTATION IN ORDER TO REDUCE CARBON EMISSIONS INCLUDED ISSUING REPORTS ON LOGGING AND ON THE DETAILS OF QUEBEC AND ONTARIO'S LARGEST TISSUE PULP PRODUCERS; ADVANCING A RESOLUTION WITH A PARTNER ORGANIZATION CALLING ON PROCTER & GAMBLE TO ACCOUNT FOR DEFORESTATION IN ITS SUPPLY CHAINS, WHICH MANY INVESTORS VOTED IN FAVOR OF; AND OUR WORK LEADING TO THE DECISION BY QUEBEC, WHICH ANNOUNCED THE PROTECTION OF 39,000 KM2 OF TERRITORY IN CREE NATION AS PART OF A BIGGER PLAN TO PROTECT 17% OF ITS LANDS BY 2030. IN INDIA, WE WORKED TO CREATE SYSTEMIC CHANGES TO REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. OUR EFFORTS YIELDED WINS SUCH AS THE STATE OF TELENGANA RELEASING AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE POLICY WITH STRONG INCENTIVES FOR CONSUMERS, MANUFACTURERS, CHARGING PROVIDERS, AND ELECTRIC MOBILITY, WHICH WILL SET PRECEDENT IN THE COUNTRY WITH RISING AUTOMOBILE SALES; THE STATE OF GUJARAT ALSO FOLLOWED SUIT IN ISSUING AN ELECTRIC MOBILITY POLICY. ADDITIONALLY, NRDC HOSTED DISCUSSIONS ON GREEN AND ENERGY-EFFICIENT BUILDINGS, AND RELEASED AN ISSUE BRIEF ON CLEAN ENERGY FINANCING. WITH RESPECT TO ADAPTATION AND CLIMATE RESILIENCE, NRDC HELD ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION ON AIR POLLUTION, CLIMATE CHANGE, AND PUBLIC HEALTH COMMUNICATION; HOSTED WEBINARS ON PUBLIC HEALTH SOLUTIONS ON DEALING WITH EXTREME HEAT AS INDIA CONTINUES TO BATTLE COVID-19; AND ORGANIZED PANELS TO DISCUSS SOLAR MINI-GRIDS AND HOW GENDER EQUITY IMPROVES QUALITY OF LIFE IN RURAL INDIA.

NRDC'S ENDOWMENT CONSISTS OF 62 INDIVIDUAL FUNDS (47 DONOR-RESTRICTED AND 15 QUASI-ENDOWMENTS) AND IS AN AGGREGATION OF GIFTS PROVIDED BY DONORS WITH THE REQUIREMENT THEY BE HELD IN PERPETUITY TO GENERATE EARNINGS NOW AND IN FUTURE YEARS TO SUPPORT A VARIETY OF PURPOSES, INCLUDING FUNDING ITS PROGRAM AND SUPPORTING SERVICES. IT ALSO INCLUDES FUNDS DESIGNATED BY NRDC'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO FUNCTION AS AN ENDOWMENT (QUASI-ENDOWMENT). NET ASSETS ASSOCIATED WITH INDIVIDUAL ENDOWMENT FUNDS, INCLUDING FUNDS DESIGNATED BY NRDC'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO FUNCTION AS ENDOWMENTS, ARE CLASSIFIED AND REPORTED BASED ON THE EXISTENCE OR ABSENCE OF DONOR-IMPOSED RESTRICTIONS.

THE ASSESSMENT OF THE TAX POSITION IS BASED SOLELY ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE POSITION, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THE TAX POSITION MAY BE CHALLENGED. NRDC HAS PROCESSES PRESENTLY IN PLACE TO ENSURE THE MAINTENANCE OF ITS TAX-EXEMPT STATUS; TO IDENTIFY AND REPORT UNRELATED INCOME; DETERMINE ITS FILING AND TAX OBLIGATIONS IN JURISDICTIONS FOR WHICH IT HAS NEXUS; AND, TO REVIEW OTHER MATTERS THAT MAY BE CONSIDERED UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS.

Explanation	THE PROFESSIONAL FUNDRAISERS DISCLOSED ON NRDC'S FORM 990 PROVIDE A SUITE OF CONSULTING AND FUNDRAISING SERVICES THAT ENHANCE THE ORGANIZATION'S ABILITY TO ADVANCE ITS OWN TAX-EXEMPT MISSION. NRDC DOES NOT SPECIFICALLY TRACK THE FUNDRAISING DOLLARS EACH FUNDRAISER GENERATED AND SO DETERMINING AN ACCURATE ALLOCATION OF THESE RECEIPTS TO ALIGN WITH THE 990 REPORTING REQUIREMENTS IS DIFFICULT. NEVERTHELESS, NRDC DOES ROUTINELY REVIEW ITS FUNDRAISING RELATIONSHIPS TO ENSURE THAT THE SERVICES IT RECEIVES PROVIDE A GOOD RATE OF RETURN TO THE ORGANIZATION ON ITS FUNDRAISING BUDGET. DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, MOST OF NRDC'S IN-PERSON FUNDRAISING EVENTS WERE CANCELLED. NRDC INCURRED SOME NON-REIMBURSABLE COSTS FOR THESE EVENTS AND HAS ALLOCATED THEM ACCORDINGLY IN SCHEDULE G, PART II.	ExplanationTxt

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1	WE SAFEGUARD THE EARTH: ITS PEOPLE, ITS PLANTS AND ANIMALS, AND THE NATURAL SYSTEMS ON WHICH ALL LIFE DEPENDS. WE WORK TO RESTORE THE INTEGRITY OF THE ELEMENTS THAT SUSTAIN LIFE - AIR, LAND, AND WATER -AND TO DEFEND ENDANGERED NATURAL PLACES AND COMMUNITIES. WE WILL ESTABLISH SUSTAINABILITY AND GOOD STEWARDSHIP OF THE EARTH AS CENTRAL ETHICAL IMPERATIVES OF HUMAN SOCIETY. WE STRIVE TO PROTECT NATURE TO ADVANCE THE LONG-TERM WELFARE OF PRESENT AND FUTURE GENERATIONS AND FOR ITS INTRINSIC VALUE. WE WORK TO FOSTER THE FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT OF ALL PEOPLE TO HAVE A VOICE IN DECISIONS THAT AFFECT THEIR ENVIRONMENT. WE SEEK TO BREAK DOWN THE PATTERN OF DISPROPORTIONATE ENVIRONMENTAL BURDENS BORNE BY PEOPLE OF COLOR AND OTHERS WHO FACE SOCIAL OR ECONOMIC INEQUITIES. ULTIMATELY, NRDC STRIVES TO HELP CREATE A NEW WAY OF LIFE FOR HUMANKIND, ONE THAT CAN BE SUSTAINED INDEFINITELY WITHOUT FOULING OR DEPLETING THE RESOURCES THAT SUPPORT ALL LIFE ON EARTH.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A	PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS THIS FISCAL YEAR, NRDC HAS CONTINUED ITS WORK TO PROTECT HUMAN HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT, AND PRESERVE A LIVABLE CLIMATE, IN THE UNITED STATES AND ABROAD. NRDC HAS THREE KEY PROGRAMMATIC AREAS: 1. AVERTING THE MOST DANGEROUS IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE, 2. ADVOCATING FOR THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE AND THRIVING 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. SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES NRDC WORKS TO CHANGE SYSTEMS THAT AFFECT PEOPLE DIRECTLY AND INDIRECTLY FROM DRINKING WATER TO FOOD WASTE TO CHEMICALS IN CONSUMER PRODUCTS TO INFRASTRUCTURE. THESE EFFORTS SPAN A WIDE RANGE OF ACTIVITIES INCLUDING ADDRESSING TOXIC CHEMICALS AND PESTICIDES IN OUR ENVIRONMENT IN FOOD, AIR, WATER, AND PRODUCTS; ADVOCATING FOR COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE HISTORICALLY AND PRESENTLY CONTINUE TO BEAR DISPROPORTIONATE IMPACTS OF HARM FROM CLIMATE CHANGE AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES; AND PROMOTING RESILIENCE AND HEALTH FOR ALL, ON LOCAL, STATE, REGIONAL, AND NATIONAL LEVELS. KEY HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS PAST YEAR ARE AS FOLLOWS: NRDC ADVOCATED FOR THE PASSAGE OF A MASSIVE $2.3 TRILLION YEAR-END SPENDING AND COVID-19 RELIEF BILL, AN OMNIBUS APPROPRIATIONS ACT, AND A BIPARTISAN ENERGY INNOVATION PACKAGE TO BENEFIT PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES ON THE GROUND. NRDC FOUGHT FOR KEY PROVISIONS IN EACH OF THESE IMPORTANT PACKAGES, INCLUDING MORATORIA ON WATER SHUTOFFS, EXTENDING TAX INCENTIVES FOR SOLAR, WIND, AND OFFSHORE WIND, AND PHASING DOWN THE USE OF CLIMATE-WARMING HYDROFLUOROCARBONS IN THE COVID-19 RELIEF BILL. IN ADDITION, PRESIDENT BIDEN ISSUED A SWEEPING EXECUTIVE ORDER ON CLIMATE CHANGE, DIRECTING ALL FEDERAL AGENCIES TO DEPLOY EVERY RESOURCE, TOOL, AND LAW AT THEIR DISPOSAL TO GET THE UNITED STATES ON A NET ZERO BY 2050 PATHWAY AND NRDC STAFF ACROSS ALL PROGRAMS CONTRIBUTED SUPPORTING ANALYSES. IN A BIG REGIONAL WIN FOLLOWING YEARS OF ADVOCACY BY NRDC AND PARTNERS, THE DELAWARE RIVER BASIN COMMISSION BANNED FRACKING IN THE DELAWARE RIVER BASIN. THIS WIN HELPS PROTECT THE HEALTH OF COMMUNITIES, WHICH INCLUDES 17 MILLION PEOPLE WHOSE WATER COMES FROM THE RIVER; THE SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT, HOME TO ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FISHERIES IN THE NATION AND HABITAT FOR ICONIC SPECIES SUCH AS THE BALD EAGLE; AS WELL AS PREVENT MORE WARMING FROM GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. THE BAN MARKS A HISTORIC EVENT IN THE COMMITMENT TO PROTECTING HUMAN AND ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH, AND THE BASIN JOINS NEW YORK STATE AS A LEADER IN A DEFINITIVE MOVE AWAY FROM FOSSIL FUEL INFRASTRUCTURE. THIS FISCAL YEAR ALSO YIELDED STATE-LEVEL PROGRESS ON OUR WORK TO PROTECT PEOPLE FROM TOXIC CHEMICALS. FOR EXAMPLE, THERE WERE NOTABLE ADVANCEMENTS IN OUR WORK TO ELIMINATE PFAS (PER-AND POLYFLUOROALKYL SUBSTANCES), TOXIC CHEMICALS USED IN FIRE-RETARDANT FURNITURE AND PRODUCTS LIKE POTS AND PANS THAT PERSIST IN THE ENVIRONMENT. THE ADVANCEMENTS INCLUDE NRDC SUPPORTING A BILL IN CALIFORNIA TO BAN PFAS; NEW YORK STATE BANNING PFAS FROM FOOD WARE AND BANNING FIRE-RETARDANT CHEMICALS IN FURNITURE, MATTRESSES, AND STANDS OF ELECTRONIC DISPLAYS TO PROTECT FIREFIGHTERS. NRDC ALSO CARRIED OUT THESE EFFORTS ON THE INTERNATIONAL STAGE BY PROVIDING CRITICAL CONSULTATION TO A GLOBAL BODY OF OB-GYN PRACTITIONERS IN MORE THAN 130 COUNTRIES THAT HELPED THEM CALL FOR A PHASEOUT OF PFAS, AND COLLABORATED WITH PARTNERS SUCH AS THE UNITED NATIONS ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAM TO ISSUE A REPORT CHALLENGING TEXTILE MANUFACTURERS AND GOVERNMENTS TO ADDRESS AND ELIMINATE PFAS. IN FURTHER WORK ON TOXIC CHEMICALS THAT FOLLOWED 15 YEARS OF NRDC ADVOCACY, THE NINTH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS RULED THAT THE U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY MUST BAN CHLORPYRIFOS, A COMMON PESTICIDE THAT WAS ROUTINELY SPRAYED ON FOOD CROPS, WHICH ENDANGERED THE HEALTH OF CHILDREN AND FARMWORKERS. THIS WIN ENSURES THAT CHILDREN CAN EAT FOODS FREE OF A NEUROTOXIN THAT INCREASES THE RISK OF LEARNING DISABILITIES AND DEVELOPMENTAL DELAYS AND PROTECTS FARMWORKERS AND THEIR FAMILIES. NRDC ALSO MADE BIG STRIDES IN PROTECTING COMMUNITIES FROM THE DANGERS OF LEAD IN DRINKING WATER. FOR EXAMPLE, RESIDENTS OF NEWARK, NEW JERSEY, SECURED ACCESS TO SAFE DRINKING WATER PROTECTIONS UNDER A PROPOSED SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT IN FEDERAL COURT; THIS REQUIRES THE CITY OF NEWARK TO REPLACE LEAD SERVICE LINES RAPIDLY AT NO COST TO HOMEOWNERS, AND PROVIDE FREE WATER TESTING, FILTERS, AND REPLACEMENT CARTRIDGES. IN ANOTHER EXAMPLE, CHICAGO ANNOUNCED PLANS TO REPLACE ALL LEAD SERVICE LINES IN THE CITY, FOLLOWING AN ECONOMIC RECOVERY MEMO ON POST-COVID-19 PRIORITIES THAT NRDC HELPED DRAFT WITH PARTNERS. IN ADDITION TO ENSURING SAFE DRINKING WATER ACROSS CITIES, NRDC ALSO WORKED TO ENSURE THAT LOW-INCOME COMMUNITIES HAD ACCESS TO RUNNING WATER A CRITICAL NEED IN THE FALLOUT OF COVID-19 WHEN UTILITIES SHUT OFF WATER IN VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES. ON THE NATIONAL LEVEL, NRDC ALSO WORKED TO CREATE LEGISLATION TO PROVIDE $4 BILLION IN DEBT RELIEF OF RESIDENTIAL WATER CUSTOMERS' ARREARS ACCUMULATED DURING COVID-19 AND TO CREATE A PERMANENT FEDERAL PROGRAM TO FUND LOW-INCOME HOUSEHOLD WATER ASSISTANCE. NRDC ALSO ADVOCATED ACROSS STATES INCLUDING NORTH CAROLINA, ILLINOIS, MICHIGAN, NEW JERSEY, AND CALIFORNIA IN ACTIONS SUCH AS PROCURING DATA TO CONVINCE MICHIGAN SENATORS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE TO ENSURE ALL MICHIGANDERS HAVE ACCESS TO RUNNING WATER; PRODUCING A LEGAL MEMO THAT CONTRIBUTED TO THE ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE INTRODUCING A BILL TO ENACT A STATEWIDE MORATORIUM ON WATER SHUTOFFS; AND URGING THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA TO COLLECT THE DATA NECESSARY TO ASSESS NEED AND ASSISTANCE AMONG VULNERABLE CUSTOMERS. NRDC ALSO EXPANDED ITS WORK TO HELP COMMUNITIES ADAPT TO THE INCREASING AND INTENSIFYING RISKS OF FLOODING AND SEA LEVEL RISE. THESE EFFORTS RANGED FROM PARTICIPATING IN MEETINGS WITH POLICYMAKERS AND GOVERNMENT GROUPS TO REFORM THE NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM; CALLING ON FEMA TO ESTABLISH MINIMUM BUILDING AND LAND-USE CRITERIA IN THE COUNTRY'S FLOODPLAINS AND COASTAL AREAS AND REQUIRE FUTURE FLOOD MAPS TO SHOW HOW FLOOD RISKS WILL CHANGE IN THE CONTEXT OF CLIMATE CHANGE; AND PROVIDING INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC IN PANELS AND TALKS.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B	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 FY21, THIS CATEGORY OF WORK BROADLY CONSISTED OF ADVANCING CLIMATE GOALS IN GOVERNMENT, ADVANCING CLEAN ENERGY, AND DEFENDING THE CLIMATE AND ENVIRONMENT. NRDC FOCUSED MUCH OF ITS EFFORTS ON DRIVING SYSTEMIC CHANGE ON CLEAN ENERGY FROM REFORMING CLEAN ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE TO WORKING WITH STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO SPEED UP THE TRANSITION OFF FOSSIL FUELS, WITH EQUITY AS A GUIDING PRINCIPLE. AT THE SAME TIME, WE CONTINUED TO FOCUS ON DEFENDING THE CLIMATE AND ENVIRONMENT PROTECTIONS AT ALL LEVELS, ESPECIALLY IN THE COURTS. SOME TOP CLIMATE AND ENERGY ACCOMPLISHMENTS INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: THIS FISCAL YEAR, NRDC WORKED TO CREATE SYSTEMIC CHANGES THAT WILL SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE CARBON EMISSIONS. AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL, PRESIDENT BIDEN'S CLIMATE CHANGE EXECUTIVE ORDER (EO) INCLUDED A CRITICAL STEP FORWARD ON CURBING HYDROFLUOROCARBONS (HFCS), THE POTENT GREENHOUSE GAS USED IN AIR CONDITIONING AND REFRIGERATION, AFTER DECADES OF NRDC ADVOCACY. FOLLOWING THE EO, THE EPA ALSO PROPOSED NRDC-SUPPORTED RULES TO PHASE DOWN HFCS BY 85% OVER THE NEXT 15 YEARS, WHICH IT PROJECTS WILL BRING AMERICANS $290 BILLION IN NET BENEFITS THROUGH 2050. ADDITIONALLY, AS A RESULT OF THE ADVOCACY OF NRDC AND OUR PARTNERS, THE FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION (FERC) MADE A "SIGNIFICANCE" DETERMINATION PURSUANT TO THE NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT REGARDING A PROPOSED GAS PIPELINE PROJECT'S EFFECT ON CLIMATE CHANGE A HISTORIC AND IMPORTANT STEP FORWARD IN FEDERAL AGENCIES RECOGNIZING AND EVALUATING A PROJECT'S CLIMATE IMPACTS. IN TENNESSEE, AS A RESPONSE TO OUR WORK TO STOP PIPELINES AND ACCOMPANYING DESTRUCTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE, MOUNTAIN VALLEY WITHDREW ITS REQUEST WITH THE FERC TO ALLOW IT TO USE CONVENTIONAL BORES TO CONSTRUCT 77 MILES OF THE NATURAL GAS PIPELINE. HOWEVER, MOUNTAIN VALLEY CONTINUES TO PURSUE OTHER DESTRUCTIVE APPROACHES TO BUILDING THEIR PIPELINE THROUGH VIRGINIA AND WEST VIRGINIA WHICH INCLUDES NUMEROUS COUNTIES, CRITICAL HEADWATER STREAMS, AND HABITATS FOR ENDANGERED FISH SUCH AS THE ROANOKE LOGPERCH AND CANDY DARTERAND WE WILL CONTINUE TO CHALLENGE THE PIPELINE DEVELOPMENT UNTIL IT IS HALTED. ALONG WITH WORK TO DRASTICALLY REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS, NRDC WORKED TO EXPAND CLEAN ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE TO ENSURE THAT WHOLESALE ELECTRICITY MARKETS SUPPORT THE CLEAN ENERGY TRANSITION. FOR EXAMPLE, WE CONTINUED OUR WORK WITH THE SUSTAINABLE FERC PROJECT, A PARTNERSHIP OF STATE, REGIONAL, AND NATIONAL PUBLIC INTEREST ORGANIZATIONS WORKING TO EXPAND CLEAN ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE TO PHASE DOWN CARBON EMISSIONS ON NATIONAL, REGIONAL, AND STATE LEVELS. THIS INCLUDED EFFORTS SUCH AS SUBMITTING COMMENTS TO FERC ON IMPROVING ELECTRICITY TRANSMISSION LINE RATINGS TO WINNING A NEW ENGLAND CASE IN WHICH FERC REJECTED A NEW ENGLAND GRID OPERATOR'S ENERGY PROPOSAL THAT WOULD HAVE FAVORED FOSSIL FUELS OVER CLEAN ENERGY. IN ADDITION, NRDC WORKED WITH PARTNERS TO FILE COMMENTS WITH NEW ENGLAND STATES AND IN THE SOUTHWEST TO REMOVE MARKET BARRIERS TO CLEAN ENERGY. OTHER ADVANCES TOWARD A CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE IN TRANSPORTATION INCLUDED THE SIGNING OF A BILL INTO LAW IN CALIFORNIA TO ACCELERATE THE INSTALLATION OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE AND PROVIDE SECURE LONG-TERM FUNDING FOR UTILITY-SIDE INVESTMENTS FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES, WHICH IN TURN LESSENS THE LARGEST SOURCE OF AIR POLLUTION FROM CARS AND TRUCKS. NRDC ALSO WORKED TO PRIORITIZE EQUITY IN CLEAN ENERGY WORK AT THE FEDERAL AND STATE LEVELS. OF NOTE, NRDC WORKED TO PREPARE VOTE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE INVEST IN AMERICA ACT, WHICH INCLUDED CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION AND RESILIENCE, REDUCTION OF HISTORIC RACIAL INJUSTICES FROM TRANSPORTATION INVESTMENTS, HISTORIC INVESTMENTS IN PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AND INTERCITY RAIL, AND NEW FORMULA AND DISCRETIONARY GRANT PROGRAMS TO ADDRESS CLIMATE CHANGE AND EQUITY. WE ALSO SUPPORTED A BILL IN THE CALIFORNIA ASSEMBLY WITH COALITION PARTNERS THAT FUNDS UPGRADES TO FACILITIES THAT ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE COMMUNITIES DEPEND ON FOR SUPPORT SERVICES. IN ADDITION, WORK TO BUILD A STRONG CLEAN ENERGY ECONOMY WAS UNDERGIRDED BY STRONG EQUITY COMPONENTS, SUCH AS ADVOCACY FOR THE "EIGHT PRINCIPLES FOR A CLEAN & RENEWABLE ILLINOIS ECONOMY" FROM ILLINOIS GOVERNOR J.B. PRITZKER'S OFFICE, WHICH INCLUDED JUST TRANSITION, AND WORKFORCE AND CONTRACTOR EQUITY AND ESTABLISHED THE FOUNDATIONAL ELEMENTS OF THE CLEAN ENERGY JOBS ACT. IN VEHICLES AND TRANSPORTATION WORK, NRDC'S EFFORTS TO HELP NEW YORK STATE POLICYMAKERS TO DEVELOP AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE PROGRAM SINCE 2018 YIELDED THE APPROVAL OF A $701 MILLION PROGRAM TO DEPLOY 55,000 PASSENGER ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS STATEWIDE AND ACCELERATE THE USE OF ELECTRIC FREIGHT TRUCKS AND BUSES $200 MILLION OF WHICH WILL BE INVESTED DIRECTLY IN DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES.
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. FOR EXAMPLE, 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 THAT PROTECT THE 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 FY21 ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND HIGHLIGHTS IN THIS CATEGORY ARE AS FOLLOWS: AFTER YEARS OF ADVOCACY, PUBLIC OUTREACH, AND LITIGATION ON THE PART OF NRDC, THE ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS DENIED THE CLEAN WATER ACT PERMIT FOR THE PEBBLE MINE, A DESTRUCTIVE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT THAT WOULD SEVERELY DEGRADE THE ENVIRONMENT OF BRISTOL BAY, ALASKA AND THREATEN THE WORLD'S LARGEST SOURCE OF SALMON. FURTHER, WE CONTINUED TO PRESS THE EPA FOR PROTECTION OF INDIGENOUS POPULATIONS UNDER SECTION 404(C) OF THE CLEAN WATER ACT FROM THE ONGOING THREAT OF THIS PROJECT THROUGH LEGAL MEASURES. AS PART OF THESE EFFORTS, NRDC PLAYED A CRITICAL PART IN LAUNCHING A MEDIA AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT CAMPAIGN WITH KEY PARTNERS FROM BRISTOL BAY TO RAISE PUBLIC AWARENESS AND A GROUNDSWELL OF SUPPORT. NRDC LED THE ADVOCACY OF 30X30, THE FIRST-EVER NATIONAL CONSERVATION STRATEGY TO CONSERVE AT LEAST 30 PERCENT OF OUR LANDS, INLAND WATERS, AND OCEANS BY THE YEAR 2030, AND AS A RESPONSE TO OUR STEADY WORK, FEDERAL AGENCIES RELEASED A REPORT OUTLINING HOW THE PRESIDENTIAL ADMINISTRATION ENGAGE STAKEHOLDERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO DEVELOP LOCAL, EQUITABLE, AND SCIENCE-DRIVEN SOLUTIONS TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE FOR THIS FRAMEWORK. THESE EFFORTS ALSO LED TO THE HOUSE PASSAGE OF HR 803, PROTECTING AMERICA'S WILDERNESS AND PUBLIC LANDS ACT, A PACKAGE OF LOCALLY-DRIVEN CONSERVATION EFFORTS SUPPORTED BY NRDC THAT SUPPORTS 30X30 CONSERVATION GOALS. OUR ADVOCACY ALSO HAD AN IMPACT IN STATES SUCH AS CALIFORNIA, WHICH ESTABLISHED ITS OWN 30X30 GOAL, WITH EQUITY AS A DRIVING PRINCIPLE. WE ALSO PUSHED FOR PROTECTING THE HABITATS OF WILDLIFE FROM THE OCEANS TO THE NATION'S FARMS AND BACKYARDS. FOR EXAMPLE, WE URGED THE NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE TO PUSH OTHER COUNTRIES TO END ILLEGAL, UNREGULATED, AND UNREPORTED FISHING (IUU) FLEETS, WHICH IS ENDANGERING SPECIES SUCH AS SHARKS, TURTLES, AND MARINE MAMMALS, AS WELL AS HUMAN LIVES THROUGH FORCED LABOR AND DRUG TRAFFICKING. WE ALSO ISSUED A REPORT THAT DETAILS THE SYSTEMIC FAILURES THAT ALLOW ONE-THIRD OF US SEAFOOD IMPORTS AS A RESULT OF ILLEGAL FISHING. FURTHER, WE WORKED TO REDUCE HARM TO MARINE MAMMALS FROM ENTANGLEMENTS FROM COAST TO COAST, SUCH AS PARTNERING WITH CORPORATIONS AND NOAA TO INVEST MONEY TO PROTECT THE NORTH ATLANTIC RIGHT WHALE FROM ENTANGLEMENT IN FISHING GEAR OFF THE COAST OF NEW ENGLAND, AND JOINING OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS TO CALL ON THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE FOR STRONG REGULATIONS TO REDUCE ENTANGLEMENTS IN THE STATE'S COMMERCIAL DUNGENESS CRAB FISHERY. ON LAND, WE FOUGHT TO SUPPORT POLLINATORS, CRITICAL MARKERS OF ECOSYSTEM HEALTH THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ONE OUT OF EVERY THREE BITES OF FOOD IN OUR FOOD SUPPLY. FEDERALLY, WE CHALLENGED THE U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE'S DECISION NOT TO DESIGNATE CRITICAL HABITAT FOR THE ENDANGERED RUSTY PATCH BUMBLEBEE, IN ADDITION TO SUPPORTING TWO BILLS IN CONGRESS TO PROVIDE URGENTLY NEEDED PROTECTIONS FOR THE WESTERN MONARCH BUTTERFLIES AND OTHER POLLINATORS. WE ALSO HOSTED A VIRTUAL LOBBY DAY IN CONCERT WITH OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS TO MEET WITH NEW YORK STATE LAWMAKERS TO PASS A BILL TO ELIMINATE HIGHLY TOXIC NEONICOTINOID PESTICIDES, WHICH EVENTUALLY LED THE STATE SENATE TO PASS THE BIRDS AND BEES PROTECTION ACT, A GROUNDBREAKING ACT TO REIN IN THE USE OF THESE PESTICIDES IN THE COUNTRY THAT MAY BE REPLICATED ACROSS OTHER STATES.
