Non-partisan, Collaborative, Optimistic, Inclusive

Our Mission

The Aspen Institute Energy & Environment Program (EEP) is a 55-year-old program that works with people, organizations, and governments to take greater action on solving climate change. In doing so, EEP seeks to:

Support the sustained development of a global clean energy economy and well-adapted, equitable, and inclusive communities.  

Foster spaces for collaborative dialogue and relationship building, especially diverse stakeholders. In doing so, we create unique opportunities for innovative climate solutions and ideas to be seeded, tested, and developed.  

Connect the dots between efforts, organizations, and communities to drive collaboration.

Lead with empathy, trust, appreciation, optimism, and inspiration, as a small, but essential, part of an immense movement to address climate change around the world. 

Our Values

  • Non-partisan collaboration
  • Empathy and equity
