Environmental and Energy Study Institute

EESI's mission is to advance science-based solutions for climate change, energy, and environmental challenges to achieve our vision of a sustainable, resilient, and equitable world. Climate change is one of the defining challenges of the 21st century. As the U.S. is a leading global emitter of greenhouse gas emissions, we have a responsibility to prioritize climate mitigation quickly and in a way that centers equity and workforce development. Additionally, we need communities to be resilient to intensifying climate impacts by promoting common-sense solutions like energy efficiency, utilizing all renewables, and making construction more sustainable. Yet, the federal government is not addressing climate mitigation and adaptation at the scale and scope required by this enormous crisis. Lack of expertise and in-depth knowledge regarding climate change issues and affiliated policy are major reasons. U.S. federal policy has the potential to propel the country, and lead the world,
