2025 Policy Agenda
About the Project
The Energy Foundation's Federal team is focused on supporting an equitable 2025 Federal regulatory and policy agenda. Our intention is rooted in environmental justice, aiming to address critical issues in climate change, clean energy, and public health. In recognizing the importance of diverse voices, especially those from BIPOC and frontline communities, we are committed to shifting the traditional dynamics of policy setting and advocacy.

Why It Matters
Typically, policy agendas are shaped by well-resourced, mainstream organizations. We believe in changing this narrative by empowering groups rooted in environmental justice and diverse communities to lead the charge. It's not just about setting an agenda; it's about ensuring that these policies resonate with and effectively serve the communities most impacted by environmental issues.
