RMI Will
Support state-level policymakers, advocates, and researchers with targeted analytics, inclusive community building, and a shared vision with specific targets.
Continue building a sustained subnational climate movement that accelerates action, promotes accountability, and works in partnership with the federal government.
Work with the US Congress and federal agencies to develop and follow through on ambitious and beneficial electrification policies.
RMI is building on our history of influencing policy to speed action that slashes US emissions by 2030, supports a sustainable economy, and grows jobs.

I’m thrilled to hear that RMI is meeting this decisive decade with a new strategy to push for the 1.5 degree target. Your work to accelerate the clean energy transition has really helped us to chart a more sustainable path forward. Your leadership is just as critical today as it has been for nearly the last 40 years.
