Ready to make a difference in climate policy, but not sure where to start? We have you covered. The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) invites you to join us for our start-of-the-new-Congress briefing series, Climate Camp. We will review climate science, cutting-edge innovations, and the role of the legislative process in climate mitigation and adaptation.

EESI’s first Climate Camp briefing will serve as an interactive refresher on the drivers of climate change and the latest deployable solutions to address the challenge. This Congress, topics such as agriculture, infrastructure, and national security will be front and center. The briefing will cover climate concepts and terminology—from types of greenhouse gases to renewable energy technologies—to help you identify policy solutions at the intersection of these issue areas.

At this briefing, panelists will showcase tools—like the EN-ROADS simulator, co-developed by MIT Sloan and Climate Interactive—that staff can use to easily digest climate data and generate policy ideas. They will also highlight federal agency resources essential to understanding the climate challenge and innovative solutions to address it.
