Durable climate and energy solutions require comprehensive and coordinated action to protect the environment, safeguard human health, and grow clean energy economies. ECOS members are taking action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, build more resilient communities and ecosystems, and advance clean energy goals.
ECOS members formed the Climate & Energy Workgroup to amplify and share sustainable, bipartisan climate and energy solutions. The workgroup promotes greater awareness and integration of policies and programs across environmental, climate, public health, and energy regulators.
The workgroup also supports cooperation among states and federal agencies to deploy billions of dollars in climate and energy funding through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the Infrastructure and Investment Jobs Act (IIJA), and other programs.
