There Are Solutions for Climate Change. The host for this show is Grace Chen O’Neil. The guest is Daniel Bresette.

Forward-thinking Congressional representatives from both parties identified a need for policymakers to have more access to fact-based information on energy and environmental issues and created the Energy and Environmental Solutions Institute (EESI) in 1984. EESI declared that all of EESI’s work should be looked at through a climate lens—a principle that continues to guide us today. EESI seeks to unite a range of constituencies behind win-win climate and clean energy solutions by emphasizing the multiple benefits of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the substantial costs of inaction. EESI receives no Congressional funding, despite its origins as a bipartisan Congressional caucus. EESI has been an educational resource for policymakers, an information conduit between federal, state, and local stakeholders, and a catalyst for partnerships and solutions for more than 30 years.
