The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting environmentally sustainable societies. EESI believes meeting this goal requires transitions to social and economic patterns that sustain people, the environment and the natural resources upon which present and future generations depend. EESI produces credible, timely information and innovative public policy initiatives that lead to these transitions. These products take the form of publications, briefings, work shops and task forces.

EESI is governed by a diverse Board of Directors made up of environmental, business and academic leaders and has a multidisciplinary professional staff.

EESI carries out policymaker education and analysis projects in the areas of energy efficiency and renewable energy, global climate change, agriculture, biofuels, smart-growth, and clean bus technologies. Cross-cutting efforts are focused on alternative environmental strategies.

Primary funding for the tax-exempt Institute comes from foundations. Other support comes from individuals, corporations and government. Many individuals support EESI through Earth Share, a workplace giving federation.

EESI was founded in 1984 by a bipartisan group of Members of Congress concerned about energy and environmental issues.
