Congressional Climate Camps

The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) hosted a 'Climate Camp' online briefing series designed to educate participants on the legislative process and policy opportunities for carbon reductions. The first session focused on the fiscal year 2022 budget and appropriations process, the structure of stimulus packages, and the role of climate action within those packages as the 117th Congress and the new administration addressed the COVID-19 pandemic.

• The EESI Climate Camp is an online briefing series that covers the basics of the legislative process and identifies policy opportunities for achieving both long-term and near-term carbon reductions.
• The initial session of the series examined the budget and appropriations process for fiscal year 2022, using funding examples for energy, environment, and climate programs to illustrate practical application.
• The briefing addressed the formation of stimulus packages and the integration of climate action within them, specifically in the context of the 117th Congress and the new administration's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
