Working for Responsible Global Warming Policies

Polar bears, like these in Churchill, Canada, face serious threats from global warming, as they depend on the ice for feeding and raising their young.

World Wildlife Fund monitors and participates in national and international policymaking related to global warming.

To help slow global warming, we urgently need policies that significantly increase the use of energy from renewable sources such as wind and solar power, encourage the implementation of energy efficient technologies and processes, and limit carbon dioxide pollution.

WWF follows global warming policy developments in the United States as well as in more than 25 countries around the world. It also participates in international policy negotiations such as negotiations related to the Kyoto climate treaty and the Arctic Council.

If you would like to help support such policies in the United States, please join the WWF Conservation Action Network.
