Climate science, policy, politics, and action
Senate Environment and Public Works hearing.
The Energy Storage Policy Forum convenes a curated list of industry leaders to discuss the most important issues affecting energy storage markets today. Energy storage is integral to electrical supply, transmission, and distribution systems. The topic is gaining attention as stakeholders recognize the revolution storage solutions can bring to the clean energy industry.
Join us in February as we unite state and federal regulators, policymakers, storage industry members, utility decision makers, and power sector stakeholders in the most critical energy storage discussions.
At the Eaton DC Hotel & Event Space.

Join the Climate and Community Project for a briefing and happy hour to discuss its latest report, “Achieving Zero Emissions with More Mobility and Less Mining.”
Where: Friday, February 10 at 5:30PM
When: Creative Grounds DC, 1822 North Capitol St NW, Washington, DC 20002
Please be ready to show proof of up-to-date COVID-19 vaccination.
We need to decarbonize the US transportation sector — one of the top contributors to our country’s GHG emissions. Decisions made now will affect the speed of decarbonization and the mobility of millions — and decarbonization will transform global supply chains, with implications for climate, environmental, and Indigenous justice beyond US borders. Join us for a discussion with Dr. Thea Riofrancos, lead author of Climate and Community Project’s latest report Achieving Zero Emissions with More Mobility with Less Mining, to consider the future of the transportation system, futures of lithium mining, and how we make it just and equitable for all.
Ready to make a difference in climate policy? But not sure where to start? We have you covered. The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) invites you to join us for our start-of-the-new Congress briefing series, Climate Camp . We will go over the basics of the legislative process, highlighting key areas and opportunities for climate mitigation and adaptation policy.
Our second session in EESI’s Congressional Climate Camp series will explore the public’s interest in seeing continued federal attention on climate change. Forty-six percent of people in the United States say they have personally experienced the impacts of climate change and 55 percent of people say that climate change should be a high or very high priority for Congress and the administration, according to the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication. Panelists will explore the latest analyses of public opinion on climate change across sectors and geography and explain why it matters for the 118th Congress.
The purpose of this hearing is to discuss the state of the U.S. Territories.
