The Climate & Energy Project seeks to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions in America’s Heartland through the ambitious deployment of energy efficiency and renewable energy, in policy and practice.


CEP:

  • presents balanced facts
  • connects people, organizations, and ideas
  • facilitates productive, pragmatic, long-term collaborations
  • ensures that a wide range of voices are represented

We aim to infuse certain core values into community, regional, and national discussions of climate and energy:

Stewardship.
Safeguarding the earth's resources for future generations.

Resilience.
Developing flexible energy and food systems that have the strength and diversity necessary to survive disruptions in climate or national security.

Balance.
Acknowledging that all energy technologies have benefits and burdens, and that citizenship demands weighing this balance carefully.

Innovation
Supporting creative implementation of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies that are environmentally and socially sustainable.
By staying on top of climate and energy issues today, CEP will help make it possible for future generations - our children and grand-children – to thrive in the Heartland for the future.

CEP receives its funding from nonprofit philanthropic foundations and government agencies. Our audited financial statements are available here.
