📈 @iea.org's Global Methane Tracker 2026 is out now. It incorporates data from satellite missions, including MethaneSAT observations from ~23 oil & gas producing basins across 16 countries, providing some of the most robust basin-level methane intensity estimates to date. Check it out👇

Did you know that 30% of fossil fuel methane emissions in 2024 could have been avoided at no net cost? Often, solutions to mitigate climate and air pollution are framed as “too expensive.” But IEA’s latest report on global methane emissions shows that this couldn’t be farther from the truth:

We could all use more hopeful stories in the fight against climate change. Take a moment to join us in celebrating these recent environmental wins. What's bringing you hope? 🌎 💚 https://www.edf.org/Z6yf

The Western U.S. just took a big step toward working as one connected power grid. Now states can better share power so that clean, cheap energy can reach more communities, and a grid that’s better prepared to handle high demand and extreme weather. https://www.edf.org/Z6FP

At a time when the cost of everything is skyrocketing, some neighbors are unlocking big savings—together. In places like Pennsylvania and Indiana where electric bills are rising fast, communities are turning sunlight into savings. https://www.edf.org/Z6FY

Just one year after the Trump administration stopped enforcing methane standards, the U.S. wasted enough natural gas to meet the needs of nearly 22 million households. This is energy we can’t afford to lose—and costs we can’t afford to pay. https://www.edf.org/Z6Fi

🌚🫣🌍 Artemis II Mission Commander Reid Wiseman captured stunning footage of the Earth setting behind the Moon on Monday, April 6, during the historic lunar flyby! Wiseman described it: “like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos.”

Forcing a coal plant to stay open—that isn’t even producing power? That’s exactly what’s happening in Centralia, WA. EDF is taking legal action to stop these wasteful, unlawful orders and protect families from footing the bill. https://www.edf.org/Z6yt

We asked you: What’s worth protecting? From spending time at your favorite park to traditions with loved ones and all the moments in between, our shared planet connects us all. This Earth Day and beyond, we can (and must) protect the people and places we care about.🌎 💚 https://www.edf.org/Z6F4

State legislators from WA & NY highlight how New York can learn from Washington state and replicate the benefits of a cap-and-invest program to benefit New York communities. "The truth is that Cap and Invest works, and is popular because of it." https://aol.it/4tn4AtA

The Trump EPA says reducing climate pollution from U.S. cars and trucks is “futile.” That’s just patently false. Why we joined other orgs to file a petition outlining severe flaws in EPA's repeal of the Endangerment Finding & motor vehicle standards: https://www.edf.org/Z6yK

Large rooftop solar arrays represent proven solutions for utility savings across various states/communities. Warehouse roof panels on 36M sq ft in one PA county illustrates impact — estimated power for 56K homes as key state looks to lower electric bills. https://bit.ly/48pKcQn

Every U.S. county is getting hotter and Americans are already paying the price. Rolling back EPA’s Endangerment Finding and clean vehicle standards could add $1.4T in fuel costs and $500B in health damages. See what this looks like across the country.👇🏽 https://www.edf.org/Z6y6

A clean energy March to remember as sector outpaced gas for the first time! Clean energy keeps surging onto the U.S. grid, even amid political obstacles. "Perhaps more impressive is that renewables are growing their market share while overall electricity demand climbs." https://bit.ly/4t2iMIe

We're celebrating 50 years of a bipartisan win for U.S. fisheries and the communities that rely on them. Thanks to the Magnuson-Stevens Act, the U.S. is a global model for sustainable fisheries, delivering major ecological, economic and social benefits. https://www.edf.org/Z6ye

EDF scientists and partners cited in a stunning new analysis of cancer risk in ‘Cancer Alley’. “In 14 out of 15 census tracts that the researchers monitored, their estimated cancer risks were 0.9–11.6 times higher than the EPA’s calculations.” Worth reading: https://bit.ly/4vpGWOI

🌍 🚀 🌙 In awe! Images captured by NASA’s Artemis II crew on Monday, April 6, show stunning views of Earth from the far side of the moon. Artemis II crew broke the record set by Apollo 13 in 1970 as they reached the far side of the moon, placing them at 252,756 miles from Earth.

For too long, climate action and economic growth have been seen as at odds. But the numbers tell a different story. Each year, we emit climate pollution equivalent to 12 billion gas-powered cars, and the solutions that work must scale across markets and systems. Read more: https://bit.ly/41RU5Cp

Not that long ago, U.S. fisheries were in crisis. Until EDF teamed up with fishermen to help restore them to abundance. Hear from Sea Change author and EDF Executive Director Amanda Leland, who was part of that success, at @hoodcollege.bsky.social in Frederick, MD next week.

AI-powered weed lasers and spider-venom pesticides are among the innovative new technologies that could transform farming. Now we just need investment and smart policies to get it into farmers’ hands. https://www.edf.org/Z6yd

Jayne Black has spent years paying for ER visits, doctors’ bills and sleepless nights because her kids suffer from asthma & other health risks worsened by exposure to air pollution—and her family isn’t alone. Now Trump EPA is saying value of lives saved from clean air is $zero. Here's what to know:

In a move that ignores science and puts millions at risk, the Trump administration illegally rolled back safeguards that limit brain-damaging mercury and other toxic pollution. We’re taking this fight to court. https://bit.ly/4c1eN7y

Ready for an uplifting evening? Mark your calendar for Amanda Leland's upcoming author talk at @hoodcollege.bsky.social in Frederick, MD! We’ll dive into the real-life victory that helped transform U.S. fisheries—one of the reasons sustainable seafood is a reality today. See you there!

EDF President Fred Krupp made a great point at #CERAWeek: Some of the biggest issues of our time have common ground. Climate solutions can also be solutions for data centers & increasing energy demand, for affordability & national security. It’s time to make these connections.

Climate action must benefit people. At Mumbai Climate Week, farmers, entrepreneurs and community leaders across India proved that community-driven solutions can drive global impact and create local opportunities. Keep reading: https://www.edf.org/Z6y4

As EDF President Fred Krupp said in his #CERAWeek panel, we have to be big enough in our worldview to solve more than one problem at once. This isn't the first time we've had an oil crisis and prices have skyrocketed. 1/2

Takeaway from EDF President @FredKrupp's #CERAWeek panel: Climate solutions need to solve not only for climate, but also for affordability & nat'l security. Clean energy is more affordable than ever & we can tackle all of these problems—by accelerating construction of renewables.

Paying a company $1B to walk away from wind projects that would deliver affordable energy to East Coast grid when most needed is “an outrageous misuse of taxpayer dollars” Per EDF’s Ted Kelly. https://bit.ly/4lScwjI

Inspiring success in North Carolina, where a rooftop "Solarize" campaign morphed into home "Electrify" project & helped residents navigate local clean energy transitions. State/local coalitions like these show the power of bulk-buy initiatives and cost-saving programs. https://bit.ly/40A4t1j

🥶 That cold snap felt harsh—yet overall winters warmed & shortened in 80% of 245 U.S. cities from 1998-2025, per recent report. "The temperatures that have historically defined winter are now starting later and/or ending earlier in most U.S. cities." https://bit.ly/4aSct24

HUGE WIN for cleaner air, less traffic, and faster commutes in New York City! A federal judge ruled that the Trump Administration does not have authority to end New York’s congestion pricing program, reinforcing what New Yorkers already know: congestion pricing is law and it's working.

The Mercury and Air Toxics Standards effectively protected people from air pollution from coal power plants—until now. EDF’s Surbi Sarang spoke with @guardian about this dangerous rollback for our health: https://bit.ly/4qYHGGY

Farmers bring crucial support to a huge California solar project and work toward sensible land use/clean energy needs amid whiplash droughts, water crisis and changing climate. "Because of solar, we can continue farming in Westlands. It'll keep the farming community alive."

Climate misinformation can spread at lightning speeds on social media. Asking a few simple questions can help you identify it—and stop it from spreading further. EDF’s Manager of Persuasion Research and Campaigns, Elyse Martin, talked with @climateconnections.bsky.social to share a few tips.

The Trump Administration is throwing money at aging coal plants to power AI. Here’s the thing: coal is not only terrible for our health — it’s expensive and unreliable. Cleaner, cheaper energy solutions exist.
