The Energy and Environment Program (EEP) aims to foster experiential learning, collaboration, and leadership development among a wide variety of professionals. Leveraging the Aspen Institute’s distinct convening power and reputation for cultivating inclusive, nonpartisan dialogue to bridge divides, EEP brings together individuals, organizations, and governments to build cross-sector partnerships that are necessary to develop and deploy solutions that will catalyze a clean energy transition, mitigate the effects of climate change, and help communities adapt to its inevitable impacts.

Woven throughout this work is also our robust and ongoing commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) in everything that we do – as this work both internally and externally is core to who we are as a team. Internally, our team has been diligent over a number of years by making consistent effort to learn and invest in education around DEIB, the product of which is evident in our approach to hiring, building team culture, and all of our internal processes. Externally, we strive to model this commitment to DEIB to partners by amplifying new and diverse voices, prioritizing equity in our project selection, developing metrics to hold ourselves accountable on our DEIB goals, and further embedding this commitment into all of our workstreams.
