Our purpose

The Aspen Institute’s Energy & Environment Program works with people, organizations, and governments to take greater action on solving climate and energy challenges.

Our Approach

We do this by bringing together leaders from across sectors to drive effective policy, accelerate innovative market solutions, and mobilize the public toward actionable solutions. To achieve this, we establish trusted, non-partisan platforms for expert-level policy forums that advance systemic change, for bold and ambitious ideas and leaders to meet on public stages, and for a global marketplace for sustainable solutions across hard-to-abate sectors. We incubate out-of-the-box ideas and unlikely partnerships that ripple outward to turn shared ambitions into contributions that strengthen the foundations of a good society.
