Desc	Climate and Energy - To avert disastrous climate change, EDF focuses on the largest and best opportunities to reduce emissions of climate pollutants such as carbon dioxide and methane. In 2017, with climate progress blocked in Washington, DC, EDF found other ways to advance these goals. For example, EDF helped California, China and Walmart move forward as climate leaders. California extended its cap-and-trade program, a central component of the states bold plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 40% below 1990 levels by 2030. EDF has been working with California leaders on the plan for more than a decade. China announced it will begin phasing in a national emissions trading system for carbon dioxide, based on the success of seven pilot programs on which EDF has advised. And EDFs 11-year collaboration with Walmart resulted in the launch of Project Gigaton, an unprecedented pledge from the worlds largest retailer to shrink its supply-chain greenhouse gas emissions by one billion tons by 2030, more than Germany emits in a year.

Desc	Ecosystems - 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 interests including Land OLakes, Campbell Soup Company and the National Corn Growers Association 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 more than 20 million acres by 2022. EDF also worked with farmers, ranchers and others to improve habitat for endangered wildlife. In 2017, EDF launched the Monarch Butterfly Habitat Exchange, in which farmers and ranchers can earn credits for growing milkweed, which is essential to the monarchs survival. In Louisiana, EDF helped win approval for the states master plan to restore coastal wetlands. And in Arizona, EDF spearheaded an agreement with the City of Phoenix and others that makes more Colorado River water available for the environment.	Desc

Desc	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 to give fishermen a financial stake in conserving fish for the future. To accelerate the adoption of sustainable fishing management, EDF and its partners have developed software, training manuals and case studies and have trained more than 700 fishery leaders from Chile to Spain to the Philippines. In 2017, EDF and local partners launched an initiative in Indonesia for blue swimming crab, one of the countrys most lucrative export fisheries. In Europe, EDF advised key officials as they rewrote the EUs Common Fisheries Policy, committing member nations to end widespread overfishing. In Sweden, EDF helped government and industry formulate reforms, including secure fishing rights, for some of their most important fisheries.	Desc

Form And Line Reference	PART II-B, LINE 1:	FormAndLineReferenceDesc
Explanation	Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) engages in limited amounts of lobbying activities to further its mission to preserve the natural systems on which all life depends. In FY2017, EDF spent a total of $4,984,107. which comprises 3% of its total expenditures, on influencing legislation. Consistent with its tax-exempt purpose, EDFs lobbying activities were focused on the protection of the environment, human health, and wildlife. During FY2017, EDF defended the Endangered Species Act of 1973 to protect species and habitats from extinction. In addition, EDF worked to save the Environmental Protection Agency from budget cuts, ensured the preservation of the Bureau of Land Managements methane and waste prevention rule, and safeguarded against the roll-backs of other federal environmental protection laws. EDF was also active in voicing its position on nominations for federal environmental posts. Much of the lobbying work around these issues was carried out by Moms Clean Air Force, a special project of EDF. In addition to efforts focused on federal legislation, EDF was active during FY2017 at the state-level, including in the states of California, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The work in California was directed toward extending the states cap and trade program with the successful passage of AB 398 as well as legislation aimed at greenhouse gas regulations and energy efficiency, such as AB 378 and SB 370. EDF also turned its efforts to methane rules in Pennsylvania, natural gas in Ohio and energy efficiency in New Jersey. EDF accomplishes its lobbying objectives through both in-house staff and outside consultants, who assist with strategizing and planning, and through grassroots and direct communications. EDFs largest lobby expenditure during FY2017 was a grant of $4,570,238. provided to Environmental Defense Action Fund (EDAF), the political action partner and affiliated 501(c)(4) organization of EDF. The purpose of the grant was to provide general support for the educational and lobbying activities of EDAF in furtherance of its mission, which is consistent with the shared program objectives of EDF and EDAF. As required by law, EDAF is restricted from using any of the EDF lobby grant funds for political campaign activities under the terms of the grant agreement between EDF and EDAF.	ExplanationTxt
