I include charities working on climate change as a smaller portion of my donations. When I started donating several years ago, the three organizations that I chose were the Clean Air Task Force, The Coalition for Rainforest Nations, and The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). Unfortunately, I now think that the donations I made to the NRDC may have been actively harmful due to their anti-nuclear efforts, which have increased fossil fuel usage in New York. I thought I remembered reading that they were in favor of keeping the existing nuclear stock when I started donating, but I must have misread something. Thankfully, NRDC was a relatively small fraction of my overall donations, but I still wish I had done better research.
