Congressional Climate Camps

The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) conducted a 'Climate Camp' online briefing series focused on the legislative process and policy opportunities for carbon reduction. The fourth session specifically examined climate solutions that combine greenhouse gas emission reductions with increased resilience, while addressing environmental justice, job creation, and conservation.

• The EESI Climate Camp online briefing series aims to educate participants on the basics of the legislative process and identify policy opportunities for achieving both near-term and long-term carbon reductions.
• The fourth session of the series focused on a range of climate solutions designed to simultaneously lower greenhouse gas emissions and improve resilience to climate impacts, with additional goals of advancing conservation, job creation, and environmental justice.
• The briefing covered several specific thematic areas for climate action, including coastal nature-based solutions, agricultural sector solutions, the use of mass timber for sustainable buildings as carbon sinks, and the role of building codes in achieving efficiency and resilience.
