Grant Highlights
Environment
The environmental advocacy organization promotes policies and practices that address the challenges posed by climate change to ecosystem health and biological diversity. Supported by this funding, the group is working with conservation officials to ensure climate change adaptation provisions are included in national fish and wildlife conservation strategies, and is assisting federal agencies in the development of climate-smart regulations and management plans.
With climate change looming, the conservation organization has shifted its focus toward the challenges global warming poses to ecosystems and biological diversity. Using this two-year grant, Defenders of Wildlife is working with the U.S. Geological Survey’s new National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center, the Obama administration, and others to develop and implement a national climate-change adaptation strategy.
This green planning grant was awarded under the Green Building Initiative, begun in 2003 and retired in May 2009, which encouraged environmentally responsible construction and renovation in the nonprofit sector. The grant covers the incremental costs associated with the integrated design process ― a collaboration essential to efficient, cost-effective outcomes. The Environment Program’s strategic priorities extend the aims of the Green Building Initiative by working to advance the policy and practice of environmental sustainability in the built environment.
The public-interest law firm dedicates its expertise and resources to protecting the environment and defending the right of all people to live in healthy surroundings. Assisted by this two-year grant, Earthjustice is using advocacy and litigation to encourage the U.S. Department of Energy to raise the level of energy-efficiency standards for buildings, appliances, and equipment and to improve enforcement and compliance with those standards.
