A moderated conversation with leaders of the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), recipient of the 2025 Rose Walters Prize at Dickinson College for Global Environmental Activism.
EDF Panelists: Jon Goldstein, Dr. Natasha Vidangos and Morgan Rote Moderator: Neil Leary
EDF is accelerating the transition to affordable, clean, reliable, and low-carbon energy solutions to create a safer and healthier world for people, nature and the economy. In key global regions, EDF is working on solutions to overcome major energy challenges at a scale consistent with the cuts in climate pollution required to hit global temperature targets and to sustain a livable, thriving planet. EDF’s goal is to bend the curve on global greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel production and use by 2030, cleanly and equitably. In an effort to meet this goal, EDF launched MethaneSAT in 2024 with the objective to provide a comprehensive view of oil & gas emissions in order to increase transparency and accountability from countries and companies towards their emission reduction goals.
EDF is working with partners around the world, and across the public and private sectors, to use the power of markets and technology to drive down pollution quickly and affordably - and to shift the world to clean energy as fast as possible. Their areas of focus include methane from fossil fuel production, clean electricity, transportation, and fuels and feedstocks. To achieve their goals, they seek reforms in law, regulation, and/or business practice through a mix of strategic corporate partnerships, direct engagement with policymakers, and mobilizing investor and public sentiment in favor of change.
