The Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) is focused on stabilizing the climate while helping build strong and healthy communities. EDF recognizes mayors as frontline leaders with a pivotal role in decision-making for local infrastructure development. In recognition of this, EDF and AAMA established an EDF Fellow for Environmental Justice and Climate Equity in 2022. This partnership fosters relationships with mayors, facilitates access to resources, and assists in developing city-specific climate action plans based on community needs. Collaboration highlights include mayoral roundtables where EDF engages with mayors, shares resources, and builds partnerships to address community needs in climate, clean energy, and transportation by leveraging historic funding from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL).
