With every new administration and Congress comes a different set of energy and environmental priorities. Despite shifts in political offices and rhetoric, there are opportunities for policy action toward a healthy environment and thriving economy.

On January 29, 2025, Resources for the Future (RFF) and leaders from across government, business, philanthropy, and media gathered to discuss the big decisions anticipated in 2025.
