Did you know that four out of five current Congressional offices use EESI’s educational resources? This is true. And you can help the Congressional engagement rate continue to be high in 2025 with a gift today! The new year will mean new members of Congress and lots of new Congressional staff. Please give today, so that the new Congress can understand and act on climate change: https://lnkd.in/eSMTM3_Q #ClimateAction #ClimateChange #ClimateSolutions

As we approach the end of EESI's 40th year, Daniel Bresette sat down to share what he's learned so far as the organization's president. Reflecting on the evolving challenges of bipartisanship in Congress since 1984, he said, "The Inflation Reduction Act was not bipartisan, but its impact will make it harder for its opponents to ignore the benefits of investing in climate solutions. Whenever Congress decides to take big action, it is essential for EESI to be there with new educational resources about non-partisan, science-based solutions." Check out the full article for Daniel's thoughts on the upcoming Congress, the latest with EESI's technical assistance work, and his advice for young people passionate about climate. 📰 https://lnkd.in/eCbJ24WR #EESIat40 #Nonprofit #ClimateAction #ClimateLeader #IRA #Bipartisan

For the Season 8 finale of EESI's podcast, The Climate Conversation, co-hosts Daniel Bresette and Alison L. Davis sat down with author Jay Hakes for a discussion about his recent book, "The Presidents and the Planet: Climate Change Science and Politics from Eisenhower to Bush," published by LSU Press. Turn the sound on 🔊 to hear Jay talk about how Margaret Thatcher, prime minister of the UK in the 1980s, reconciled her conservative world view with her commitment to strong government-led action on climate change.
