The Energy Policy Simulator (EPS) is a free, open-source tool developed by RMI and Energy Innovation to model the environmental, economic, and health impacts of energy policies across the lower 48 US states. The tool supports the Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG) program by enabling states to calculate GHG inventories, project emissions through 2050, build scenarios to meet reduction targets, and quantify the co-benefits of mitigation measures, such as public health improvements and economic development.

The Private Equity Stakeholder Project supports the Stop Wall Street Looting Act to curb the negative impacts of the private equity industry. The organization highlights that private equity assets grew from less than $1 trillion in 2004 to over $7.5 trillion, often utilizing high debt levels that are shifted onto acquired companies.

EESI advocates for the sale of E15 (15 percent ethanol, 85 percent gasoline) in New York State, arguing that it improves air quality and reduces greenhouse gas emissions compared to E10. The document highlights that E15 reduces volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and displaces toxic "gasoline aromatics" like the BTEX complex, which are linked to cancer. It also notes that E15 does not increase tailpipe emissions or damage catalysts in older vehicles and contributes to a reduction in transportation-sector greenhouse gases, with corn ethanol being on average 43 percent less GHG intensive than gasoline.

The document is a formal letter to Senator Elizabeth Warren from 33 organizations supporting the Climate Risk Disclosure Act of 2018.

The document is a statement from several NGOs supporting a proposal by Brazil and Argentina to create a "Development Agenda" for the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). The signatories argue that intellectual property protection should be a tool for development rather than an end in itself, urging WIPO to align its activities with UN Millennium Development Goals. Key priorities include incorporating public interest flexibilities in norm-setting, facilitating technology transfer to developing countries, and ensuring the participation of stakeholders such as indigenous peoples, women, and small farmers.
