A Commitment to Economic Resilience

We’re helping fossil fuel–dependent communities across the United States develop strategies to support their local economies.

About Us

REE was established in 2024 to develop strategies that strengthen the economies of fossil fuel–dependent communities across the United States as the energy system transforms. We support action-oriented research to find what works, then transform that research into policy ideas for local, state, tribal, and federal policymakers. We're also building a community of scholars, policymakers and economic development practitioners to share knowledge and build relationships across the nation's energy communities.

Our Research

More research is needed on how to increase the economic resilience of fossil fuel–dependent regions. Developing new knowledge in this area is critical to supporting communities during the United States’ energy transition.
