Supporting Each Other and the Environment During the COVID-19 Pandemic

The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) issued a statement on April 7, 2020, confirming that its work on federal climate policy and clean energy financing continues despite the COVID-19 pandemic, while detailing operational shifts to remote work and online briefings.

• EESI is maintaining its efforts to advance federal climate policy and provide technical assistance to utilities through its Access Clean Energy Savings Program.
• The organization observes that the fragmented nature of coronavirus responses across various jurisdictions mirrors the piecemeal implementation of climate action in states, cities, and counties, emphasizing the need for science-informed federal action for both crises.
• To ensure staff safety and operational continuity during the pandemic, EESI implemented all-telework guidance, cancelled work travel, updated sick leave policies, and transitioned briefings and updates to online and email formats.
