Engaging with Congress on Climate Change Solutions

Need

Climate change is a defining challenge of the 21st century and we are almost halfway through a decisive decade for climate action. As the U.S. is a leading global emitter of greenhouse gas emissions, we have a responsibility to prioritize climate mitigation in a way that centers on equity and workforce development. Additionally, we need communities to be resilient to intensifying climate impacts by promoting common-sense solutions like energy efficiency, renewables, and sustainable construction.

Long term impact

EESI's role is critical - educating every generation of policymakers through briefings and research. Media outlets continually engage with our resources, helping shape a solutions-based narrative for addressing the climate crisis. With steps such as these, we accelerate the transition to a new, sustainable society based on equity and resilience.

About the Organization

EESI's mission is to advance science-based solutions for climate change, energy, and environmental challenges in order to achieve our vision of a sustainable, resilient, and equitable world. Our work is more diverse and robust than ever before to match the present urgency of the climate crisis and the opportunities afforded by the federal climate change investments (Inflation Reduction Act or IRA and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act or IIJA). Embodied throughout our work are our core values of diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice.
