Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Statement

The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) has adopted a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) statement, establishing these principles as core values to guide its operations, policy work, and technical assistance programs in addressing climate change and environmental challenges.

• EESI identifies a link between economic inequality, structural and environmental racism, and climate change, noting that systemic barriers hinder the participation of frontline communities, legacy communities, Indigenous people, Black people, and people of color in the development of inclusive environmental policies.
• The EESI board of directors passed a resolution designating Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) as core values. These principles are committed to by the organization's fellows, interns, board members, and staff, and are intended to inform EESI's operations, communications, policy work, and technical assistance programs.
