Founded by a bipartisan group of members of congress, eesi has worked since 1984 to provide science-based information about Environmental, Energy, and climate change topics to policymakers and the public. Eesi briefings, fact sheets, articles, newsletters, and podcasts are informative, objective, nonpartisan, and publicly available at www.eesi.org. Eesi educational resources have reached at least 386 congressional offices (71% of the total). In 2023, more than 5,072 people - the most ever - attended our 21 briefings. More than 14,000 subscribers received the biweekly newsletter, climate change solutions, and more than 7,400 people received the daily newsletter, cop dispatch, during the global climate summit (cop28).

Key accomplishments in 2023 included a record-high level of congressional engagement with eesi briefings; extensive coverage of cop28; the congressional renewable Energy and Energy efficiency policy forum; fact sheets about heavy-duty electric trucks, Energy efficiency for nonprofits, and mass timber; and resources about climate-related issues in the farm bill.

Eesi offers paid internships to undergraduate students pursuing studies in fields related to climate policy. Interns gain experience in policy, communications, research, and nonprofit management. The internship program is named for eesi co-founder and board chair emeritus richard l. "dick" ottinger, who formerly represented new york in congress. Eesi also has established a merit-based future climate leaders scholarship program, administered by uncf (united negro college fund) and available to undergraduate students pursuing relevant studies at mid-atlantic historically black colleges and universities.key accomplishments in 2023 included 13 paid internships and three scholarships for undergraduate students pursuing studies in fields related to climate policy.

Eesi participated in eight webinars about the renew america's nonprofits grant program and Energy efficiency, which reached about 1,250 people affiliated with diverse nonprofits across the country.
