Description: EESI seeks to move the country toward a clean, safe, secure energy path by educating Congress; ensuring the best science/technology information, diverse perspectives and policy options are part of the debate; and developing policy alternatives that build consensus and meet multiple needs.

Mission: The Environmental and Energy Study Institute's (EESI) mission is to promote environmentally sustainable societies through transitions to social and economic patterns that sustain people, the environment and the natural resources upon which present and future generations depend. EESI brings the best science/ technology information, diverse perspectives and policy options that accomplish multiple goals into policy debates on environmental and energy issues. To accomplish this, EESI educates policymakers; provides credible, timely information; and develops innovative policy solutions through coalition building, media outreach, publications, Congressional briefings, workshops and task forces. EESI's current goal is to be a catalyst for an energy revolution that moves us away from fossil fuels and towards a clean, safe and secure energy future through our focus on energy efficiency and renewable energy, transportation, smart growth, agriculture and global climate change.
