The Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), founded in 1967, has significantly impacted U.S. environmental policy through its science-based advocacy and legal actions. The EDF played a crucial role in the ban on DDT, the establishment of the Clean Air Act, and the development of market-based solutions like cap-and-trade for reducing emissions. By combining scientific research, economic analysis, and legal expertise, the EDF has effectively raised awareness and influenced government action on various environmental issues.
