NRDC
U.S. left / progressive environmental advocacy
NRDC is a large U.S. environmental advocacy nonprofit, not a traditional news outlet; it publishes reports, press releases, and advocacy content through its own website and media channels. It operates from an explicitly progressive environmental standpoint, working to strengthen climate, clean-air, and conservation policy through litigation, lobbying, and public communication. Since January 2025, NRDC has been sharply critical of the Trump administration, actively suing it in federal court and publicly framing its environmental rollbacks as attacks on public health and the climate.
Owned byNonprofit 501(c)(3) governed by a board of trustees; no private owner or parent company. Board chair is Kathleen A. Welch; notable trustees include Leonardo DiCaprio and Katherine Adams (Apple SVP). CEO is Manish Bapna.
