Energy & Environment
|
States play a central role in managing natural resources and protecting the environment because they are responsible for implementing most federal environmental programs. States are also often the first to develop programs and policies in areas where the federal government has not yet acted. Protecting water resources; ensuring an adequate, reliable energy supply; addressing climate change; dealing with hazardous wastes… State policymakers play vital roles in tackling these and many other important environmental challenges. CSG’s Energy and Environment Policy Group tracks national conditions and emerging trends, identifies innovative and effective solutions, and transforms these solutions into viable policy positions and response projects. |
