Businesses can help advance policies across federal and state levels that promote better corporate access to renewable energy, strengthen state renewable portfolio standards and energy efficiency resource standards, transform the clean transportation sector, and overall encourage the growth of a clean energy economy. The 2020 Ceres Policy Outlook offers a glimpse into the political landscape and the types of policy measures we will address in the coming year, and highlights corporate engagement opportunities as we look to strengthen policies that help advance a carbon-free economy.
Company and investor voices have the opportunity to shape the narrative by advocating for clean energy policies that help grow economies, attract investments, and foster job creation and innovation. Through effective storytelling, participating in lawmaker education days, joining advocacy sign-on letters, penning op-eds and building strong relationships with lawmakers and regulators, businesses can help advance policies that promote better corporate access to renewable energy, strengthen state renewable portfolio standards and energy efficiency resource standards, transform the clean transportation sector, and overall encourage the growth of a clean energy economy.
Throughout the year, Ceres provides opportunities for our members and our partners to weigh in collectively under the Ceres BICEP Network banner, or individually through in-person federal and state level lawmaker education days, sign-on letters directed at policy makers, and robust media strategies such as writing op-eds, blogs and participating in press conferences. We also offer numerous opportunities for “behind the scenes,” confidential action to support our members’ interests. Additionally, we offer platforms to showcase corporate leadership at national and international events such as the Ceres Annual Conference and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Conference of the Parties.
