Energy and Environment
The Energy and Environment Program works with state officials from CSG East’s 18 member jurisdictions to provide research, analysis, and share best practices on innovative policies to help states meet their energy and climate goals. The program’s work revolves around the Energy and Environment Committee, which comprises more than 50 state officials from all levels of government. The committee hosts regional summits to exchange ideas for effective legislation and programs, and to foster a cooperative, nonpartisan approach to creating regional strategies to address shared energy and environmental concerns.
