The Aspen Institute's Energy & Environment Program addresses critical energy, environmental, & climate change issues.
About us
The Energy and Environment Program (EEP) addresses critical energy, environmental, and climate change issues through non-partisan, non-ideological convening, with the specific intent of bringing together diverse stakeholders to improve the process and progress of policy-level dialogue. This enables EEP to sit at a critical intersection in the conversation and bring together diverse groups of expert stakeholders. In addition to energy and environmental policy, which the program has been addressing for several decades, EEP is now actively and purposefully engaging in climate change policy – mitigating the effects of climate change, adapting to the inevitable impacts of climate change, and helping to build relationships for cooperation needed to achieve these goals amongst people and nations.

In preparation for ZEMBA's next tender (set to launch in the coming months), we're hosting several introductory briefings for companies interested in membership. If your company purchases ocean-freight services, and is worried about how to reduce Scope 3 emissions and achieve its climate goals, then ZEMBA is for you! Come and learn more about how our current 30+ ZEMBA member companies are coming together to kickstart a market for zero-emission maritime shipping and investing in the scalable fuels and technologies that will enable a smooth and economically viable transition to zero. All other interested parties - don't worry, we'll have a broader public ZEMBA webinar later in the fall. These specific sessions are laser focused on cargo owners and freight forwarders.

Young people want to act and lead on behalf of the planet. That’s why The Nature Conservancy and our This is Planet Ed initiative worked directly with youth leaders to co-produce a Youth Climate Action Toolkit (YCAT), which provides strategies, ideas, and real-life examples to inspire climate action at the local level. 🌏🎓 The full toolkit can be downloaded here: https://lnkd.in/eq53tW8k Huge thanks to Ethan Bledsoe, Bernice D., Gianna Hutton González, Matsu Hikida, Charmayne P., Sophia Powless, and Michelle Faggert for their amazing work on this effort 👏 #youthclimateactiontoolkit #youthforclimate #climate #climatechange #climateaction #youthforclimatechange

This past year I had the honor to serve on the Higher Ed Climate Action task force with The Aspen Institute to develop an incredible action plan. The Higher Ed Climate Action Plan is a comprehensive action plan that identifies the pivotal opportunity for higher education to lead climate solutions, adapt to our changing climate, and prepare students for success in a sustainable, resilient, and just society. 🎓🌱 To maximize impact, federal, state, and local policymakers, businesses, philanthropy, and community based organizations must work jointly with higher education. The Higher Ed Task Force heard from experts and leaders across the country and have identified recommendations, bright spots, and insights towards building a sustainable future through collaboration and innovation. 🌎💡 Read the report here: https://bit.ly/4d816mw

Thank you for sharing and for your work with us, Katharine Hayhoe! “Organizations like Planet Ed, which is pushing for collective action on climate change in children’s media, early childhood, K-12 education, and higher education, are crucial to speeding this up. That’s why I co-chair their climate task force and helped craft the four simple messages their materials focus on: (1) Earth is our home, (2) it’s getting hotter because of us, (3) climate is changing now and it’s impacting us, and (4) together, we can make the changes we need for a brighter future.” 💡

Last week, I had the honor of hosting the 48th annual Aspen Energy Week at the Aspen Meadows Resort in Aspen, Colorado. I'm am fully committed to bringing to bear a sprit of radical optimism in solving climate change; one of the most daunting challenges ever confronted by humankind, and yet one that is uniquely intertwined with trilateral political, economic, and technological imperatives whose tensions and complementarities are prime targets for the deliberative and relational spirit which defines The Aspen Institute. I'm grateful for the partnership of our co-chairs: Miranda Ballentine, Dawn Lippert, Colette Honorable, Robin Millican, Rich Powell, Michael Terrell, and Justin Worland, whose intellectual leadership and deft moderating embody the Aspen Institute's mission of ideas, leadership, and action. And I am especially thankful to our participants, who bravely and vulnerably explore together not just the frontiers of policy and political thought, but also what might be possible to achieve together in the context of trust, cooperation, and hope.

This past week I had the opportunity to attend my first Aspen Energy Week hosted by The Aspen Institute Energy & Environment Program (EEP) in Aspen, CO. I learned a great deal interacting with a wide section of individuals working on the energy transition. Hearing diverse perspectives made it clear the transition will require solutions from many disciplines. A particular theme that stuck out to me during the forum was the idea of “risk” when financing the transition. Many of the risks we hear of for energy transition finance in emerging markets and developing countries have analaogues with those in developed countries like the United States. While not exactly the same, I saw similarities in the role of public money and the need to align and mitigate risk appetites between different sources of capital. Overall a great forum, met some dynamic individuals, and the location can’t be beat.
